Abstract
Design and intelligent use renewable natural bioenergy is an important challenge. Electric microorganism-based materials are being serve as an important part of bioenergy devices for energy release and collection, calling for suitable skeleton materials to anchor live microbes. Herein we verified the feasibility of constructing bio-abiotic hybrid living materials based on the combination of gelatin, Li-ions and exoelectrogenic bacteria Shewanella oneidensis manganese-reducing-1 (MR-1). The gelatin-based mesh contains abundant pores, allowing microbes to dock and small molecules to diffuse. The hybrid materials hold plentiful electronegative groups, which effectively anchor Li-ions and facilitate their transition. Moreover, the electrochemical characteristics of the materials can be modulated through changing the ratios of gelatin, bacteria and Li-ions. Based on the gelatin-Li-ion-microorganism hybrid materials, a bifunctional device was fabricated, which could play dual roles alternatively, generation of electricity as a microbial fuel cell and energy storage as a pseudocapacitor. The capacitance and the maximum voltage output of the device reaches 68 F g-1 and 0.67 V, respectively. This system is a new platform and fresh start to fabricate bio-abiotic living materials for microbial electron storage and transfer. We expect the setup will extend to other living systems and devices for synthetic biological energy conversion.

Abstract
The in-plane heterojunctions with atomic-level thickness and chemical-bond-connected tight interfaces possess high carrier separation efficiency and fully exposed surface active sites, thus exhibiting exceptional photocatalytic performance. However, the construction of in-plane heterojunctions remains a significant challenge. Herein, we prepared an in-plane ZnIn2S4/In(OH)3 heterojunction (ZISOH) by partial conversion of ZnIn2S4 to In(OH)3 through the addition of H2O2. This in situ oxidation etching-hydrolysis approach enables the ZISOH heterojunction to not only preserve the original nanosheet morphology of ZnIn2S4 but also form an intimate interface. Moreover, generated In(OH)3 serves as an electron-accepting platform and also promotes the adsorption of CO2. As a result, the heterojunction exhibits a remarkably enhanced performance for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The production rate and selectivity of CO reach 1760 μmol g-1 h-1 and 78%, respectively, significantly higher than those of ZnIn2S4 (842 μmol g-1 h-1 and 65%). This work puts forward a feasible and facile approach to construct in-plane heterojunctions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of two-dimensional metal sulfides.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) constitute a promising research topic for photocatalytic reactions, but the rules and conformational relationships of 1D COFs are poorly defined. Herein, the chain edge structure is designed by precise modulation at the atomic level, and the 1D COFs bonded by C, O, and S elements is directionally prepared for oxygen-tolerant photoinduced electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (PET-ATRP) reactions. It is demonstrated that heteroatom-type chain edge structures (─O─, ─S─) lead to a decrease in intra-plane conjugation, which restricts the effective transport of photogenerated electrons along the direction of the 1D strip. In contrast, the all-carbon type chain edge structure (─C─) with higher intra-plane conjugation not only reduces the energy loss of photoexcited electrons but also enhances the carrier density, which exhibits the optimal photopolymerization performance. This work offers valuable guidance in the exploitation of 1D COFs for high photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) constitutes a promising step for a sustainable generation of syngas (CO + H2), an essential feedstock for the preparation of several commodity chemicals. Herein, visible light/sunlight-promoted catalytic reduction of CO2 and protons to syngas using rationally designed porphyrin-based 2D porous organic frameworks, POF(Co/Zn) is demonstrated. Indeed, POF(Co) showed superior catalytic performance over the Zn counterpart with CO and H2 generation rates of 1104 and 3981 μmol g-1h-1, respectively. The excellent catalytic performance of Co-based POF is aided by the favorable transfer of photo-excited electrons from Ru-sensitizer to the CoII catalytic site, which is not feasible in the case of POF(Zn), revealed from the theoretical investigation. More importantly, the POF(Co) catalyzes the reduction of CO2 even from dilute gas (13% CO2), surpassing most reported framework-based photocatalytic systems. Significantly, the catalytic performance of POF(Co) was increased under natural sunlight conditions suggesting sunlight-promoted enhancement in syngas generation. The in-depth theoretical investigation further unveiled the comprehensive mechanistic pathway of the light-promoted concurrent CO and H2 generation. This work showcases the advantages of porphyrin-based frameworks for visible light/sunlight-promoted syngas generation by utilizing greenhouse gas (CO2) and protons under mild eco-friendly conditions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) imine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold potential for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, high energy barrier of imine linkage impede the in-plane photoelectron transfer process, resulting in inadequate efficiency of CO2 photoreduction. Herein, we present a dimensionality induced local electronic modulation strategy through the construction of one-dimensional (1D) pyrene-based covalent organic frameworks (PyTTA-COF). The dual-chain-like edge architectures of 1D PyTTA-COF enable the stabilization of aromatic backbones, thus reducing energy loss during exciton dissociation and thermal relaxation, which provides energetic photoelectron to traverse the energy barrier of imine linkages. As a result, the 1D PyTTA-COF exhibits significantly enhanced CO2 photoreduction activity under visible-light irradiation when coordinated with metal cobalt ion, yielding a remarkable CO evolution of 1003 μmol g-1 over an 8-hour period, which surpasses that of the corresponding 2D counterpart by a factor of 59. These findings present a valuable approach to address in-plane charge transfer limitations in imine-based COFs.

Abstract
The establishment of facile synthetic routes to engineer covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with fully conjugated structure and excellent stability is highly desired for practical applications in optoelectronics and photocatalysis. Herein, a novel linkage conversion strategy is reported to prepare crystalline thiadiazole-linked COFs via thionation, cyclization, and oxidation of N-acylhydrazole bonds with Lawesson's reagent (LR). The as-prepared thiadiazole-linked COFs not only remain porosity and crystallinity, but enhance its chemical stability. Furthermore, thiadiazole-linked COFs are more favorable to lower exciton binding energy and promote π-electron delocalization over the whole reticular framework than N-acylhydrazone-linked COFs. Notably, the extended π-conjugation structure and decent crystallinity of the resulting TDA-COF are reflected by its higher photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (61.3 mmol g-1 in 5 h) in comparison with that (7.5 mmol g-1 ) of NAH-COF.

Abstract
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is a photocatalyst widely used for efficient H2 production under visible light irradiation, due to its narrow bandgap and suitable conduction band position. However, the fast recombination of carriers results in their low utilization. In order to improve photocatalytic hydrogen production, it reports the successful introduction of metallic Cd and S vacancies on CdS nanorods (CdS NRs) by a facile in situ chemical reduction method, using a thermal treatment process. This procedure generates interfacial and polarization electric fields, that significantly improve the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of CdS NRs in sodium sulfide and sodium sulfite aqueous solutions, under visible light irradiation (λ >420 nm). The introduction of these electric fields is believed to improve charge separation and facilitate faster interfacial charge migration, resulting in a significantly optimized catalyst, with a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of up to 10.6 mmol-1 g-1 h-1 with apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 12.1% (420 nm), which is 8.5 times higher than that of CdS. This work provides a useful method to introduce metallic and S vacancies on metal sulfide photocatalysts to build local polarization and interfacial electric fields for high-performance photocatalytic H2 production.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) is an excellent reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for the selective conversion of organic matter, especially in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, due to the huge dilemma in synthesizing single-site type catalysts, the control and regulation of 1 O2 generation in AOPs is still challenging and the underlying mechanism remains largely obscure. Here, taking advantage of the well-defined and flexibly tunable sites of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), we report the first achievement in precisely regulating ROSs generation in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based AOPs by site engineering of COFs. Remarkably, COFs with bipyridine units (BPY-COFs) facilitate PMS activation via a nonradical pathway with 100 % 1 O2 , whereas biphenyl-based COFs (BPD-COFs) with almost identical structures activate PMS to produce radicals (⋅OH and SO4 .- ). The BPY-COFs/PMS system delivers boosted performance for selective degradation of target pollutants from water, which is ca. 9.4 times that of its BPD-COFs counterpart, surpassing most reported PMS-based AOPs systems. Mechanism analysis indicated that highly electronegative pyridine-N atoms on BPY-COFs provide extra sites to adsorb the terminal H atoms of PMS, resulting in simultaneous adsorption of O and H atoms of PMS on one pyridine ring, which facilitates the cleavage of its S-O bond to generate 1 O2 .

Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O into valuable chemicals is a sustainable carbon-neutral technology for renewable energy; however, the photocatalytic activity and product selectivity remain challenging. Herein, an S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with superior CO2 photoreduction performance─porous C3N4 (CN) nanosheets anchored with zinc(II) tetra(4-cyanophenyl)porphyrin (ZnTP) nanoassemblies (denoted as ZnTP/CN)─was designed and prepared via a simple self-assembly process. The constructed ZnTP/CN heterojunction had rich accessible active sites, improved CO2 absorption capacity, and high charge carrier separation efficiency caused by the S-scheme heterojunction. As a result, the obtained ZnTP/CN catalyst exhibited considerable activity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, yielding CO with a generation rate of 19.4 μmol g-1·h-1 and a high selectivity of 95.8%, which is much higher than that of pristine CN nanosheets (4.53 μmol g-1·h-1, 57.4%). In addition, theoretical calculations and in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrated that the Zn sites in the porphyrin unit favor CO2 activation and *COOH formation as well as CO desorption, thereby affording a high CO selectivity. This work provides insight into the design and fabrication of efficient S-scheme heterostructure photocatalysts for solar energy storage.

Abstract
It is generally assumed that the more metal atoms in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) contribute to higher activity toward electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) and hindered us in exploring the correlation between the density of catalytic sites and catalytic performances. Herein, we have constructed quantitative density of catalytic sites in multiple COFs for CO2RR, in which the contents of phthalocyanine (H2Pc) and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) units were preciously controlled. With a molar ratio of 1/1 for the H2Pc and NiPc units in COFs, the catalyst achieved the highest selectivity with a carbon monoxide Faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 95.37% and activity with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 4713.53 h-1. In the multiple H2Pc/NiPc-COFs, the electron-donating features of the H2Pc units provide electron transport to the NiPc centers and thus improved the binding ability of CO2 and intermediates on the NiPc units. The theoretical calculation further confirmed that the H2Pc units donated their electrons to the NiPc units in the frameworks, enhanced the electron density of the Ni sites, and improved the binding ability with Lewis acidic CO2 molecules, thereby boosting the CO2RR performance. This study provides us with new insight into the design of highly active catalysts in electrocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Intensifying energy crises and severe environmental issues have led to the discovery of renewable energy sources, sustainable energy conversion, and storage technologies. Photocatalysis is a green technology that converts eco-friendly solar energy into high-energy chemicals. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous materials constructed by covalent bonds that show promising potential for converting solar energy into chemicals owing to their pre-designable structures, high crystallinity, and porosity. Herein, we highlight recent progress in the synthesis of COF-based photocatalysts and their applications in water splitting, CO2 reduction, and H2 O2 production. The challenges and future opportunities for the rational design of COFs for advanced photocatalysts are discussed. This Review is expected to promote further development of COFs toward photocatalysis.

Abstract
To achieve high-efficiency catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction, various catalytic metal centres and linker molecules have been assembled into covalent organic frameworks. The amine-linkages enhance the binding ability of CO2 molecules, and the ionic frameworks enable to improve the electronic conductivity and the charge transfer along the frameworks. However, directly synthesis of covalent organic frameworks with amine-linkages and ionic frameworks is hardly achieved due to the electrostatic repulsion and predicament for the strength of the linkage. Herein, we demonstrate covalent organic frameworks for CO2 reduction reaction by modulating the linkers and linkages of the template covalent organic framework to build the correlation between the catalytic performance and the structures of covalent organic frameworks. Through the double modifications, the CO2 binding ability and the electronic states are well tuned, resulting in controllable activity and selectivity for CO2 reduction reaction. Notably, the dual-functional covalent organic framework achieves high selectivity with a maximum CO Faradaic efficiency of 97.32% and the turnover frequencies value of 9922.68 h-1, which are higher than those of the base covalent organic framework and the single-modified covalent organic frameworks. Moreover, the theoretical calculations further reveal that the higher activity is attributed to the easier formation of immediate *CO from COOH*. This study provides insights into developing covalent organic frameworks for CO2 reduction reaction.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising visible light photocatalysts for aerobic oxidation reactions. However, COFs usually suffer from the assault of reactive oxygen species, leading to hindered electron transfer. This scenario could be addressed by integrating a mediator to promote photocatalysis. Starting with 4,4'-(benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole-4,7-diyl)dianiline (BTD) and 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp), TpBTD-COF is developed as a photocatalyst for aerobic sulfoxidation. Adding an electron transfer mediator 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1‑oxyl (TEMPO), the conversions are radically accelerated, over 2.5 times of that without TEMPO. Moreover, the robustness of TpBTD-COF is preserved by TEMPO. Remarkably, TpBTD-COF could endure multiple cycles of sulfoxidation, even with higher conversions than the fresh one. TpBTD-COF photocatalysis with TEMPO implements diverse aerobic sulfoxidation by an electron transfer pathway. This work highlights that benzothiadiazole COFs are an avenue for tailor-made photocatalytic transformations.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising and sustainable technology in the fields of energy conversion/storage and environment purification; however, the utilization of individual component as photocatalyst is generally restricted due to the low catalytic activity deriving from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons/holes. Covalent organic framework (COF)-semiconductor-based composite photocatalysts with synergistic effects provide a feasible route to achieve high-performance photocatalytic reactions with more active sites, strong light utilization ability, and high stability. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the rational design and preparation of the COF-semiconductors-based heterostructures for photocatalytic water splitting, carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction, and dye/pollutant degradation. In this Review, the synthetic strategies of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures are first introduced, which includes the rational design of the morphology, connection modes, and type of heterojunctions. The performance of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures in different photocatalytic reactions are comprehensively reviewed. The structure-activity relationship and the synergistic effects within the heterostructures are discussed, and the photocatalytic mechanism and the role of COFs during the photocatalytic process are also presented. Finally, an outlook and challenges of realizing COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures with simple synthesis methods, diverse functions, high performance, and well-defined reaction mechanisms are provided.

Abstract
Herein, the covalently connected core-shell metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)@covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) hybrid materials were successfully constructed by coating the stable COF-OH shell on the NH2-MIL-125 core. The introduction of the NH2-MIL-125 core endowed the hybrid materials with high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area (SBET) and abundant unsaturated metal sites. And the coating of COF-OH shell endowed the hybrid materials outstanding physicochemical stability and visible-light response, and suitable band gaps. Moreover, the thickness of the COF-OH shell was carefully adjusted according to the feeding amount of NH2-MIL-125. Impressively, the electron transfer pathway in the formed heterostructure was clarified and it was proven that a type-II heterojunction was generated between the MOFs and the COFs. The formed stable CN covalent bonds in the interfacial layer was beneficial to the photogenerated electron transfer and the electron-hole pairs separation, which greatly enhanced the CO2 photocatalytic reduction. The product NH2-MIL-125@COF-3 exhibited the highest CO yield of 22.93 μmol·g-1·h-1, about 2 times higher than NH2-MIL-125 (11.82 μmol·g-1·h-1) and 3 times greater than COF-OH (7.26 μmol·g-1·h-1). This work can provide helpful ideas for the careful design of the novel MOFs@COFs hybrid materials as well as useful exploration for the CO2 photocatalytic reduction.

Abstract
The precise construction of photocatalysts with diatomic sites that simultaneously foster light absorption and catalytic activity is a formidable challenge, as both processes follow distinct pathways. Herein, an electrostatically driven self-assembly approach is used, where phenanthroline is used to synthesize bifunctional LaNi sites within covalent organic framework. The La and Ni site acts as optically and catalytically active center for photocarriers generation and highly selective CO2-to-CO reduction, respectively. Theory calculations and in-situ characterization reveal the directional charge transfer between La-Ni double-atomic sites, leading to decreased reaction energy barriers of *COOH intermediate and enhanced CO2-to-CO conversion. As a result, without any additional photosensitizers, a 15.2 times enhancement of the CO2 reduction rate (605.8 μmol·g-1·h-1) over that of a benchmark covalent organic framework colloid (39.9 μmol·g-1·h-1) and improved CO selectivity (98.2%) are achieved. This work presents a potential strategy for integrating optically and catalytically active centers to enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Macrocycles with well-defined cavities and the ability to undergo supramolecular interactions are classical materials that have played an essential role in materials science. However, one of the most substantial barriers limiting the utilization of macrocycles is their aggregation, which blocks the active regions. Among many attempted strategies to prevent such aggregation, installing macrocycles into covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are porous and stable reticular networks, has emerged as an ideal solution. The resulting macrocycle-based COFs (M-COFs) preserve the macrocycles' unique activities, enabling applications in various fields such as single-atom catalysis, adsorption/separation, optoelectronics, phototherapy, and structural design of forming single-layered or mechanically interlocked COFs. The resulting properties are unmatchable by any combination of macrocycles with other substrates, opening a new chapter in advanced materials. This review focuses on the latest progress in the concepts, synthesis, properties, and applications of M-COFs, and presents an in-depth outlook on the challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.

Abstract
Photocorrosion of highly active photocatalysts is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of photocatalysis; however, searching for effective strategies for inhibiting photocorrosion of photocatalysts is still a grand challenge. Herein, we design and construct a class of Cu2O/2D PyTTA-TPA COFs (PyTTA: 1,3,6,8-Tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)pyrene, TPA: p-benzaldehyde) core/shell nanocubes to greatly boost the performance of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and significantly inhibit the photocorrosion. The optimal Cu2O/PyTTA-TPA COFs core/shell nanocubes exhibit an excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 12.5 mmol h-1 g-1, which is ∼8.0-fold and ∼20.0-fold higher than those of PyTTA-TPA COFs and Cu2O nanocube, respectively, and also is the best in all the reported metal oxides catalytic materials. The mechanism studies demonstrate that the appropriate matching band gaps and tight integration of PyTTA-TPA COFs and Cu2O nanocubes can significantly facilitate the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the Cu2O/PyTTA-TPA COFs core/shell nanocube during the photocatalytic process, which ameliorates the photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. Most importantly, the 2D PyTTA-TPA COFs shell with outstanding intrinsic stability protects Cu2O nanocubes core from photocorrosion by showing no morphology and crystal structure change after 1000 times of photoexcitation.

Abstract
The development of sp2 -carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp2 c-COFs) as artificial photocatalysts for solar-driven conversion of CO2 into chemical feedstock has captured growing attention, but catalytic performance has been significantly limited by their intrinsic organic linkages. Here, a simple, yet efficient approach is reported to improve the CO2 photoreduction on metal-free sp2 c-COFs by rationally regulating their intrinsic π-conjugation. The incorporation of ethynyl groups into conjugated skeletons affords a significant improvement in π-conjugation and facilitates the photogenerated charge separation and transfer, thereby boosting the CO2 photoreduction in a solid-gas mode with only water vapor and CO2 . The resultant CO production rate reaches as high as 382.0 µmol g-1 h-1 , ranking at the top among all additive-free CO2 photoreduction catalysts. The simple modulation approach not only enables to achieve enhanced CO2 reduction performance but also simultaneously gives a rise to extend the understanding of structure-property relationship and offer new possibilities for the development of new π-conjugated COF-based artificial photocatalysts.

Abstract
The highly selective photoreduction of CO2 into valuable small-molecule chemical feedstocks such as CO is an effective strategy for addressing the energy crisis and environmental problems. However, it remains a challenge because the complex CO2 photoreduction process usually generates multiple possible products and requires a subsequent separation step. In this paper, 2D monolayer and bilayer porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are successfully constructed by adjusting the reaction temperature and solvent polarity with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin as the light-harvesting ligand. The bilayer MOF is a low-dimensional MOF with a special structure in which the upper and lower layers are arranged in dislocation and are bridged by halogen ions. This bilayer MOF exhibits 100% ultra-high selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CO under simulated sunlight without any cocatalyst or photosensitizer and can be recycled at least three times. The intrinsic mechanism of this photocatalytic CO2 reduction process is explored through experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work shows that the rational design of the number of layers in 2D MOF structures can tune the stability of these structures and opens a new avenue for the design of highly selective MOF photocatalysts.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as prospective photoactive materials with noble Pt as a cocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. In this work, a series of SH-group-functionalized covalent organic frameworks, TpPa-1-SH-X, is prepared by reaction of p-phenylenediamine (Pa) and 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) with p-NH2 C6 H4 SH as a modulating agent. The reaction of TpPa-1-SH-X with NiII acetylacetonate Ni(acac)2 gave nickel thiolate-immobilized TpPa-1 (TpPa-1-SNi-X). The highest hydrogen evolution rate was 10.87 mmol h-1 g-1 , which was an enhancement of 16.47, 3.83, and 1.84 times than that of the parent TpPa-1, covalent-bond-free [(p-NH2 C6 H4 S)2 Ni]n /TpPa-1-SH-10, and 3 wt % Pt-deposited TpPa-1, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is ascribed to enhanced crystallinity, the use of NiII thiolate as a cocatalyst and covalent bonding between the cocatalyst and TpPa-1.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into useful feedstocks has attracted increasing attention. In this study, a fully conjugated COF material COF-TMT-A with the main structure containing an alkyne group and triazine part was synthesized using sp2-carbon-carbon double bond (CC) linked COF as a research target. The prepared COF materials were characterized in detail by FT-IR, PXRD, and 13C solid-state NMR. The introduction of an alkyne group not only enhanced the conjugated π-electron leaving domain but also optimized the electronic band structure and significantly improved the photocatalytic activity. The selectivity for the product HCOO was as high as 99%. A 10 h photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiment was carried out, and COF-TMT-A showed a significantly higher HCOO- yield of about 43 μmol compared with COF-701 and the ligand.

Abstract
The depletion of traditional fossil energy and the resulting environmental pollution forces people to explore new energy sources. Direct use of solar energy is now a viable solution for solving these problems. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a porous crystalline material; their well-defined two-dimensional or three-dimensional frameworks can ensure the orderly arrangement of photoelectric active units, giving them potential photoelectric conversion applications. The tunable structural features endow COFs many advantages in photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light. This review comprehensively summarizes the research progress on photoelectronic donor–acceptor (D-A) COFs with tunable structure for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and will provide a feasible guiding strategy for applying this type of COFs in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Abstract
Metal sulfides are a type of reduction semiconductor photocatalysts with narrow bandgap and negative conduction band potential, which make them have unique photocatalytic performance in solar-to-fuel conversion and environmental purification. However, metal sulfides also suffer from low quantum efficiency and photocorrosion. In this review, the strategies to improve the photocatalytic activity of metal sulfide photocatalysts by stimulating the charge separation and improving light-harvesting ability are introduced, including morphology control, semiconductor coupling and surface modification. In addition, the recent research progress aiming at improving their photostability is also illustrated, such as, construction of hole transfer heterojunctions and deposition of hole transfer cocatalysts. Based on the electronic band structures, the applications of metal sulfides in photocatalysis, namely, hydrogen production, degradation of organic pollutants and reduction of CO2, are summarized. Finally, the perspectives of the promising future of metal-sulfide based photocatalysts and the challenges remaining to overcome are also presented.

Abstract
The built-in electric field (BEF) has been considered as the key kinetic factor for facilitating efficient photoinduced carrier separation and migration of polymeric photocatalysts. Enhancing the BEF of the polymers could enable a directional migration of the photogenerated carriers to accelerate photogenerated charge separation and thus boost photocatalytic performances. However, achieving this approach remains a formidable challenge, which has never been realized in conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs). Herein, we developed a molecular dipole control strategy to modulate the BEF in CMPs by varying the nature of the core. As a result, a series of CMPs with a tunable BEF were designed and prepared via FeCl3-mediated coupling of bicarbazole with different acceptor cores. The optimized CbzCMP-9 featured the strongest BEF induced by its high molecular dipole, which grants it with a powerful driving force to accelerate exciton dissociation into electron-hole pairs and facilitates charge transfer along the backbone of CMPs to the surface, resulting in a remarkable photocatalytic performance toward thiocyano chromones and C-3 thiocyanation of indoles (up to 95 and 98% yields, respectively) and prominently surpassing many other reported photocatalysts. In brief, the proposed strategy highlights that enhancing the BEF by modulating molecular dipole can lead to a dramatic improvement in photocatalytic performance, which is expected to be employed for constructing other photocatalytic systems with high performance.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of organic crystalline porous materials discovered in the early 21st century that have become an attractive class of emerging materials due to their high crystallinity, intrinsic porosity, structural regularity, diverse functionality, design flexibility, and outstanding stability. However, many chemical and physical properties strongly depend on the presence of metal ions in materials for advanced applications, but metal-free COFs do not have these properties and are therefore excluded from such applications. Metalated COFs formed by combining COFs with metal ions, while retaining the advantages of COFs, have additional intriguing properties and applications, and have attracted considerable attention over the past decade. This review presents all aspects of metalated COFs, from synthetic strategies to various applications, in the hope of promoting the continued development of this young field.
