Abstract
Uranium poses severe health risks due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity if released into the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent demand to develop sensing materials in situ monitoring of uranium with high sensitivity and stability. In this work, a fluorescent Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is synthesized by grafting Eu3+ cation onto TFPB-Bpy covalent organic framework (COF) synthesized through Schiff base condensation of monomers 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene (TFPB) and 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine (Bpy). The fluorescence of Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is enhanced compared with that of TFPB-Bpy, which is originated from the intramolecular rotations of building blocks limited by the bipyridine units of TFPB-Bpy coordinated with Eu3+. More significantly, Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy is a highly efficient probe for sensing UO22+ in aqueous solution with the luminescence intensity efficiently amplified by complexation of UO22+ with Eu3+. The turn-on sensing capability was derived from the resonance energy transfer occurring from UO22+ to the Eu3+-TFPB-Bpy. The developed probe displayed desirable linear range from 5 nM to 5 μM with good selectivity and rapid response time (2 s) for UO22+ in mining wastewater. This strategy provides a vivid illustration for designing luminescence lanthanide COF hybrid materials with applications in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Developing new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminators with high stability, wide applicability, and strong designability is of great strategic significance to promote the ECL field to the frontier. Here, driven by the I···N bond, 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (TFTI) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine (TMT) self-assembled into a novel halogen cocrystal (TFTI-TMT) through slow solution volatilization. Significant difference of charge density existed between the N atoms on TMT and the σ-hole of the I atoms on TFTI. Upon the induction of σ-hole effect, high-speed and spontaneous charge transferring from TMT to the σ-hole of TFTI occurred, stimulating exciting ECL signals. Besides, the σ-hole of the I atoms could capture iodine ions specifically, which blocked the original charge transfer from the N atoms to the σ-hole, causing the ECL signal of TFTI-TMT to undergo a quenching rate as high as 92.9%. Excitingly, the ECL sensing of TFTI-TMT toward I- possessed a wide linear range (10-5000 nM) and ultralow detection limit (3 nM) in a real water sample. The halogen cocrystal strategy makes σ-hole a remarkable new viewpoint of ECL luminator design and enables ECL analysis technology to contribute to addressing the environmental and health threats posed by iodide pollution.

Abstract
Untreated radioactive iodine (129I and 131I) released from nuclear power plants poses a significant threat to humans and the environment, so the development of materials to capture iodine from water media and steam is critical. Here, we report a charge transfer complex (TCNQ-MA CTC) with abundant nitrogen atoms and π-conjugated system for adsorption of I2 vapor and I3- from aqueous solutions. Due to the synergistic binding mechanism of benzene/triazine rings and N-containing groups with iodine, special I-π and charge transfer interaction can be formed between the guest and the host, and thus efficient removal of I2 and I3- can be realized by TCNQ-MA CTC with the adsorption capacity up to 2.42 g/g and 800 mg/g, respectively. TCNQ-MA CTC can capture 92% of I3- within 2.5 min, showing extremely fast kinetics, excellent selectivity and high affinity (Kd = 5.68 × 106 mL/g). Finally, the TCNQ-MA CTC was successfully applied in the removal of iodine from seawater with the efficiency of 93.71%. This work provides new insights in the construction of charge transfer complexes and lays the foundation for its environmental applications.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals with excellent photophysical properties are promising electrochemiluminescence (ECL) candidates, but their poor stability greatly restricts ECL applications. Herein, hydrogen-bonded cocrystal-encapsulated CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs@NHS-M) were synthesized by using PeNCs as nuclei for inducing the crystallization of melamine (M) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). The as-synthesized composite exhibits multiplicative ECL efficiencies (up to 24-fold that of PeNCs) without exogenous coreactants and with excellent stability in the aqueous phase. The enhanced stability can be attributed to the well-designed heterostructure of the PeNCs@NHS-M composite, which benefits from both moiety passivation and protection of the peripheral cocrystal matrix. Moreover, the heterostructure with covalent linkage facilitates charge transfer between PeNCs and NHS-M cocrystals, realizing effective ECL emission. Meanwhile, the NHS and M components act as coreactants for PeNCs, shortening the electron-transport distance and resulting in a significant increase in the ECL signal. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the specific binding effect between NHS-M and uranyl (UO22+), an ECL system with both a low detection limit (1 nM) and high selectivity for monitoring UO22+ in mining wastewater is established. The presence of UO22+ disrupted the charge-transfer effect within PeNCs@NHS-M, weakening the ECL signals. This work provides an efficient design strategy for obtaining stable and efficient ECLs from perovskite nanocrystals, offering a new perspective for the discovery and application of perovskite-based ECL systems.

Abstract
Extracting rare earth elements (REEs) from wastewater is essential for the growth and an eco-friendly sustainable economy. However, it is a daunting challenge to separate individual rare earth elements by their subtle differences. To overcome this difficulty, we report a unique REE nanotrap that features dense uncoordinated carboxyl groups and triazole N atoms in a two-fold interpenetrated metal-organic framework (named NCU-1). Notably, the synergistic effect of suitable pore sizes and REE nanotraps in NCU-1 is highly responsive to the size variation of rare-earth ions and shows high selectivity toward light REE. As a proof of concept, Pr/Lu and Nd/Er are used as binary models, which give a high separation factor of SFPr/Lu = 796 and SFNd/Er = 273, demonstrating highly efficient separation over a single step. This ability achieves efficient and selective extraction and separation of REEs from mine tailings, establishing this platform as an important advance for sustainable obtaining high-purity REEs.

Abstract
At present, poor stability and carrier transfer efficiency are the main problems that limit the development of perovskite-based photoelectric technologies. In this work, hydrogen-bonded cocrystal-coated perovskite composite (PeNCs@NHS-M) is easily obtained by inducing rapid crystallization of melamine (M) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) with PeNCs as the nuclei. The outer NHS-M cocrystal passivates the undercoordinated lead atoms by forming covalent bonds, thereby greatly reducing the trap density while maintaining good structure stability for perovskite nanocrystals. Moreover, benefiting from the interfacial covalent band linkage and long-range ordered structures of cocrystals, the charge transfer efficiency is effectively enhanced and PeNCs@NHS-M displays superior photoelectric performance. Based on the excellent photoelectric performance and abundant active sites of PeNCs@NHS-M, photocatalytic reduction of uranium is realized. PeNCs@NHS-M exhibits U(VI) reduction removal capability of up to 810.1 mg g-1 in the presence of light. The strategy of cocrystals trapping perovskite nanocrystals provides a simple synthesis method for composites and opens up a new idea for simultaneously improving the stability and photovoltaic performance of perovskite.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been proposed for electrochemical energy storage, although the poor conductivity resulted from covalent bonds limits their practical performance. Here, we propose to introduce noncovalent bonds in COFs through a molecular insertion strategy for improving the conductivity of the COFs as supercapacitor. The synthesized COFs (MI-COFs) establish equilibriums between covalent bonds and noncovalent bonds, which construct a continuous charge transfer channel to enhance the conductivity. The rapid charge transfer rate enables the COFs to activate the redox sites, bringing about excellent electrochemical energy storage behavior. The results show that the MI-COFs exhibit much better performance in specific capacitance and capacity retention rate than those of most COFs-based supercapacitors. Moreover, through simply altering inserted guests, the mode and strength of noncovalent bond can be adjusted to obtain different energy storage characteristics. The introduction of noncovalent bonds is an effective and flexible way to enhance and regulate the properties of COFs, providing a valuable direction for the development of novel COFs-based energy storage materials.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show potentials in prominent photoelectric responses by judicious structural design. However, from the selections of monomers and condensation reactions to the synthesis procedures, the acquisition of photoelectric COFs has to meet overmuch high conditions, limiting the breakthrough and modulation in photoelectric responses. Herein, the study reports a creative "lock-key model" based on molecular insertion strategy. A COF with suitable cavity size, TP-TBDA, is used as the host to load guests. Merely through the volatilization of mixed solution, TP-TBDA and guests can be spontaneously assembled via non-covalent interactions (NCIs) to produce molecular-inserted COFs (MI-COFs). The NCIs between TP-TBDA and guests acted as a bridge to facilitate charge transfer in MI-COFs, unlocking the photoelectric responses of TP-TBDA. By exploiting the controllability of NCIs, the MI-COFs can realize the smart modulation of photoelectric responses by simply changing the guest molecule, thus avoiding the arduous selection of monomers and condensation reactions required by conventional COFs. The construction of molecular-inserted COFs circumvents complicated procedures for achieving performance improvement and modulation, providing a promising direction to construct late-model photoelectric responsive materials.

Abstract
The type of reactions and the availability of monomers for the synthesis of sp2-c linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are considerably limited by the irreversibility of the C=C bond. Herein, inspired by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, two propenone-linked (C=C-C=O) COFs (named Py-DAB and PyN-DAB) are developed based on the base-catalyzed nucleophilic addition reaction of ketone-activated α-H with aromatic aldehydes. The introduction of propenone structure endows COFs with high crystallinity, excellent physicochemical stability, and intriguing optoelectronic properties. Benefitting from the rational design on the COFs skeleton, Py-DAB and PyN-DAB are applied to the extraction of radionuclide uranium. In particular, PyN-DAB shows excellent removal rates (>98%) in four uranium mine wastewater samples. We highlight that such a general strategy can provide a valuable avenue toward various functional porous crystalline materials.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent ionic covalent organic framework (BTTA-BDNP) based on a linked carbazole unit was constructed for the synchronous monitoring and capture of TcO4-/ReO4-. BTTA-BDNP has a fast fluorescence response time with a low detection limit (66.7 nM) for ReO4- (a non-radioactive substitute for TcO4-). Meanwhile, the high charge density and hydrophobic skeleton of BTTA-BDNP enable it to exhibit rapid and selective trapping of ReO4- in complex environments.

Abstract
The structural isomerism of the covalent organic framework (COF) has a significant effect on the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. Herein, we report a pair of isomeric COFs, (TFPB-BD(OMe)2-H and TAPB-BD(OMe)2-H), based on the different directions of imine linkages and further conversion of the imine to the quinoline structure. The obtained two isomeric COFs with the same composition and similar structures exhibit dramatic differences in the photoelectrochemical and ECL fields. Indeed, TFPB-BD(OMe)2-H demonstrates robust ECL emission superior to that of TAPB-BD(OMe)2-H. The difference in ECL performance is due to the stronger polar interaction of TFPB-BD(OMe)2-H than that of TAPB-BD(OMe)2-H. The polarity is derived from the uneven charge distribution within the framework and enhances the electron interactions. In addition, the ordered conjugate skeleton provides high-speed charge transport channels for carrier transport. Therefore, the TFPB-BD(OMe)2-H presents a smaller band gap energy and stronger polarization interaction, which are more favorable to charge migration to achieve stronger ECL signals. Furthermore, we describe a convenient ECL sensor for detecting toxic As(V) with an outstanding detection property and ultralow detection limit. This work provides a guiding principle for the design and development of ECL organic luminophores.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of UVI to UIV can help remove U from the environment and thus reduce the harmful impacts of radiation emitted by uranium isotopes. Herein, we first synthesized Bi4Ti3O12 (B1) particles, then B1 was crosslinked with 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-diamine (DCT) to afford B2. Finally, B3 was formed using B2 and 4-formylbenzaldehyde (BA-CHO) to investigate the utility of the D-π-A array structure for photocatalytic UVI removal from rare earth tailings wastewater. B1 lacked adsorption sites and displayed a wide band gap. The grafted triazine moiety in B2 introduced active sites and narrowed the band gap. Notably, B3, a Bi4Ti3O12 (donor)-triazine unit (π-electron bridge)-aldehyde benzene (acceptor) molecule, effectively formed the D-π-A array structure, which formed multiple polarization fields and further narrowed the band gap. Therefore, UVI was more likely to capture electrons at the adsorption site of B3 and be reduced to UIV due to energy level matching effects. UVI removal capacity of B3 under simulated sunlight was 684.9 mg g-1, 2.5 times greater than B1 and 1.8 times greater than B2. B3 was still active after multiple reaction cycles, and UVI removal from tailings wastewater reached 90.8%. Overall, B3 provides an alternative design scheme for enhancing photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is promising in environmental monitoring. Developing an emerging design strategy to expand the class of COF-based ECL luminophores is highly desirable. Here, a COF-based host-guest system was constructed through guest molecular assembly to deal with nuclear contamination analysis. The efficient charge transport network was formed by inserting an electron-withdrawing guest tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) into the open space of the COF host (TP-TBDA; TP = 2,4,6-trihydroxy-1,3,5-benzenetricarbaldehyde and TBDA = 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine) with an electron-donating property; the construction of the COF-based host-guest system (TP-TBDA@TCNQ) triggered the ECL emission of non-emitting TP-TBDA. Furthermore, the dense active sites in TP-TBDA were utilized to capture the target substance UO22+. The presence of UO22+ broke the charge-transfer effect in TP-TBDA@TCNQ, resulting in the weakening of the ECL signal, thus the established ECL system integrating the low detection limit with high selectivity monitors UO22+. This COF-based host-guest system provides a novel material platform for constructing late-model ECL luminophores and creates an opportunity for the vigorous ECL technology.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis is an effective strategy to solve radioactive uranium hazards in wastewater. A plasmonic photocatalyst Bi/Bi2O3-x@COFs was synthesized by in-situ growth of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) on Bi/Bi2O3-x surface for the U(VI) adsorption and plasmonic photoreduction in rare earth tailings wastewater. The presence of oxygen vacancy in Bi/Bi2O3-x and Schottky potential well formed by Bi and Bi2O3-x interface increased the number of free electrons, which induced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and enhanced the light absorption performance of composites. In addition, oxygen vacancy improved the Fermi level of Bi/Bi2O3-x, leading to another potential well between Bi2O3-x and COFs interface. The electron transport direction was reversed, thus increasing the electron density of COFs layer. COFs was an N-type semiconductor with specific binding U(VI) groups and suitable band structure, which could be used as an active reaction site. Bi/Bi2O3-x@COFs had 1411.5 mg g-1 removal capacity and high separation coefficient for U(VI) due to the synergistic action of photogenerated electrons and hot electrons. Moreover, the removal rate of uranium from rare earth tailings wastewater by regenerated Bi/Bi2O3-x@COFs was over 93.9%. The scheme of introducing LSPR and Schottky potential well provides another way to improve the photocatalytic effect.

Abstract
Previous researches of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have shown their potential as fluorescent probes, but the regulation of their optical properties and recognition characteristics still remains a challenge, and most of reports required complicated post-decoration to improve the sensing performance. In this context, we propose a novel in-situ strategy to construct uracil-conjugated COFs and modulate their fluorescence properties for sensitive and selective mercury(II) detection. By using 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)pyrene (TAPPy) as fundamental blocks and 5-aminouraci (5-AU) as the functional monomer, a series of COFs (Py-COFs and Py-U-COFs-1 to Py-U-COFs-5) with tunable fluorescence were solvothermally synthesized through an in-situ Schiff base reaction. The π-conjugated framework serves as a signal reporter, the evenly and densely distributed uracil acts as a mercury(II) receptor, and the regular pores (channels) make the rapid and sensitive detection of the mercury(II) possible. In this research, we manage to regulate the crystalline structure, the fluorescence properties, and the sensing performance of COFs by simply changing the molar ratio of precursors. We expect this research to open up a new strategy for effective and controllable construction of functionalized COFs for environmental analysis.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with enzyme mimetic activity have attracted extensive attention, especially in the regulation of their catalytic activities by biomolecules or other polymers. Here, a covalent organic framework (Tph-BT COF) with excellent photocatalytic activity is constructed by Schiff base reaction, and its mimetic oxidase activity and peroxidase activity is inversely regulated via single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Under light-emitting diode (LED) light irradiation, Tph-BT exhibited outstanding oxidase activity, which efficiently catalyzed oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce blue oxTMB, and ssDNA, especially those with poly-thymidine (T) sequences, can significantly inhibit its oxidase activity. On the contrary, Tph-BT showed weak peroxidase activity, and the presence of ssDNA, particularly poly-cytosine (C) sequences, can remarkably enhance the peroxidase activity. The influence of base type, base length, and other factors on the activities of two enzymes is also studied, and the results reveal that the adsorption of ssDNA on the surface of Tph-BT prevented intersystem crossing (ISC) and energy transfer processes to reduce 1 O2 generation, while the electrostatic interaction between ssDNA and TMB enhanced Tph-BT's affinity for TMB to facilitate the electron transfer from TMB to • OH. This study investigates multitype mimetic enzyme activities of nonmetallic D-A conjugated COFs and demonstrates their feasibility of regulation by ssDNA.

Abstract
Effective and selective removal of 99TcO4-, one of the most nuisance radionuclides in nuclear waste, is highly desirable but remains a significant challenge. Herein, two isostructural MOFs, NCU-3-X (X = Cl, Br) were constructed by ZnX2 coordinated to nitrogen-containing neutral ligand tri(4-(1H-imidazole-1-l) phenyl) amine for efficient adsorption ReO4-/TcO4-. Owning to the twofold interpenetrating structure, both of them exhibit strong alkaline resistance. Consequently, NCU-3-Br exhibited superior adsorption performances with a maximum capacity as high as 483 mg/g, which is 2.23 times larger than that of NCU-3-Cl. The primary reasons accounting for the enhanced adsorption performances of NCU-3-Br are that compared to chlorine atoms, the smaller electronegativity of bromine atoms as halogen bonds donor can facilitate the formation of σ-holes, enhance positively charged skeleton, and reduce the adsorption energy associated with ReO4-/TcO4-. In addition, the one-dimensional hydrophobic channels in the NCU-3-Br framework enable NCU-3-Br to have highly selective toward ReO4-, which has a low relative charge density against interfering ions. The SRS simulation removal experiment further confirmed the excellent adsorption capacity of NCU-3-Br to ReO4-/TcO4-. This work illustrated that the halogenated new strategy incorporated different halogen atoms into MOF skeletons can dramatically modulate the adsorption performances for ReO4-/TcO4-.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-mimetic activity. It is known that DNA can interact with various nanozymes in different ways, enhancing or inhibiting the activity of nanozymes, which can be used to develop various biosensors. In this work, we synthesized a photosensitive covalent-organic framework (Tph-BT) as a nanozyme, and its oxidase and peroxidase activities could be reversely regulated by surface modification of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) for the colorimetric detection of UO22+. Tph-BT exhibits excellent oxidase activity and weak peroxidase activity, and it is surprising to find that the UO22+-specific DNA aptamer can significantly inhibit the oxidase activity while greatly enhancing the peroxidase activity. The present UO22+ interacts with the DNA aptamer to form secondary structures and detaches from the surface of Tph-BT, thereby restoring the enzymatic activity of Tph-BT. Based on the reversed regulation effects of the DNA aptamer on the two types of enzymatic activities of Tph-BT, a novel "off-on" and "on-off" sensing platform can be constructed for the colorimetric analysis of UO22+. This research demonstrates that ssDNA can effectively regulate the different types of enzymatic activities of single COFs and achieve the sensitive and selective colorimetric analysis of radionuclides by the naked eye.

Abstract
It has been considered challenging to develop ideal adsorbents for efficient and lower adsorption time uranium extraction, especially 3D covalent organic frameworks with interpenetrating topologies and tunable porous structures. Here, a "soft" three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic framework (TAM-DHBD) with a fivefold interpenetrating structure is prepared as a novel porous platform for the efficient extraction of radioactive uranium. The resultant TAM-DHBD appears exceptional crystallinity, prominent porosity and excellent chemical stability. Based on the strong mutual coordination between phenolic-hydroxyl/imine-N on the main chain and uranium, TAM-DHBD can effectively avert the competition of other ions, showing high selectivity for uranium extraction. Impressively, the 3D ultra-hydrophilic transport channels and multi-directional uniform pore structure of TAM-DHBD lay the foundation for the ultra-high-speed diffusion of uranium (the adsorption equilibrium can be reached within 60 min under a high-concentration environment). Furthermore, the utilization of lightweight structure not only increases the adsorption site density, but renders the adsorption process flexible, achieving a breakthrough adsorption capacity of 1263.8 mg g-1. This work not only highlights new opportunities for designing microporous 3D COFs, but paves the way for the practical application of 3D COFs for uranium adsorption.

Abstract
The elimination of anion is of great importance from radioactive nuclear waste containing 99TcO4- by rationally designing anion-scavenging materials with high density of charge and more accessible adsorption sites. Herein, a tailor-made cationic organic polymer with donor-acceptor (D-A) structure, namely TrDCPN, was successfully synthesized by rationally modifying the benzimidazole unit for efficient trapping the perrhenate (ReO4-) as a 99Tc surrogate. Systematic control of the skeleton affect enables the material to integrate a variety of features, surmounting the long-term challenge of 99TcO4-/ReO4- remediation under extreme conditions of high acid/base and high ionic strength. Furthermore, the TrDCPN shows excellent affinity toward ReO4- in the existence of large excess of competitive anions (SO42-, NO3- and PO43-etc.) as well as promising reusability for trapping ReO4-. The excellent stability and separation were derived from the introduction of large conjugated modules, triazine core and hydrophobic. More importantly, the synthetic cationic organic polymer with D-A feature was first proved that the introduction of halogen can effectively enhance the backbone charge, and increase the adsorption capacity by synergy of ion exchange, electrostatic interaction and δ hole-anion interaction. The adsorption capacity of TrDCPN can be up to 420.3 mg/g and reach equilibrium within 20 min. It is noteworthy that TrDCPN successfully immobilizes ReO4- from simulated Hanford waste with a high separation efficiency of 93 %, providing a new paradigm for material design to dispose of the problem of radioactive pollutants in the environment.

Abstract
The synthesis of ionic olefin linked three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) is greatly challenging given the hardness of the formation of stable carbon-carbon double bonds (-C = C-). Herein, we report a general strategy for designing porous positively charged sp2 carbon-linked 3D COFs through the Aldol condensation promoted by quaternization. The obtained 3D COFs, namely TFPM-PZI and TAPM-PZI, showed impressive chemical stability. Furthermore, the positively charged frameworks with regular porosity endow 3D ionic COFs with selective capture radioactive ReO4-/TcO4- and great removal efficiency in simulated Hanford waste. This research not only broadens the category of 3D COFs but also promotes the application of COFs as efficient functional materials.

Abstract
99Tc is one of the most problematic nuclear fuel products due to its long half-life and high environmental mobility. Direct removal of TcO4- from the highly alkaline solution of nuclear fuel is a serious and challenging environmental issue. In this work, the first efficient synthetic approach introducing halogens into a two-dimensional metal-organic framework, named Mn-MOF, is established using MnCl2·4H2O coordinating with neutral nitrogen-donor ligand, showing ultrahigh stability in alkaline aqueous even under 1 M NaOH. The luxuriant Mn-Cl bonds and ordered hydrophobic pore channels enable the Mn-MOF to have an efficient adsorption capacity for ReO4- with a large capacity (403 mg g-1), which is higher than most MOF adsorbents. More importantly, the Mn-MOF shows an excellent selectivity toward ReO4- in high-density competitive anions, such as NO3- and SO42-. Moreover, the outstanding performance of Mn-MOF in removing ReO4- endowed it successfully separated ReO4- from the simulated Savannah River Site (SRS) high-level waste (HLW) stream with high removal of 66.84% at the phase ratio of 10. The adsorption mechanism is further demonstrated by FT-IR, XPS analysis, and DFT calculation, showing that the ReO4- can selectively interact with Mn-Cl bonds and imidazole groups, forming unique halogen bonds Cl-O-Re, and a series of hydrogen bonds, respectively. This work suggests a new approach to the removal of TcO4- from nuclear fuel.

Abstract
Technetium (99Tc) is a highly toxic radioactive nuclear wastewater contaminant. Real-time detection of 99Tc is very difficult due to its difficult-to-complex nature. Herein, a novel three-dimensional ionic olefin-linked conjugated microporous polymer (TFPM-EP-Br) is constructed using tetrakis(4-aldehyde phenyl)methane (TFPM) as the central monomer. The unique cationic cavity and highly hydrophobic framework enable TFPM-EP-Br to act as a fluorescent sensor for TcO4-. The fluorophores of TFPM-EP-Br can be quenched due to electron transfer from TFPM-EP-Br to TcO4- and the formation of strongly nonfluorescent complexes. Meanwhile, the regular pore channels are beneficial for the fast mass transfer of TcO4-, resulting in an ultrafast response time (less than 2 s) with an ultralow detection limit (33.3 nM). In addition, the ultrahigh specific surface area enables TFPM-EP-Br to combine the ability to synergistically detect and remove radioactive 99Tc. From this perspective, the novel conjugated microporous polymer has made a breakthrough in the detection and extraction of radioactive contaminants.

Abstract
Bacterial infection causes serious threats to human life, especially with the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Phototherapeutic approaches have become promising due to their noninvasiveness, few adverse effects, and high efficiency. Herein, a covalent organic framework (TAPP-BDP) with a conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) structure has been constructed for efficient photoinduced bacteriostasis. Under the irradiation with a single near-infrared (NIR) light (λ = 808 nm), TAPP-BDP alone involves triple and synergistic bacterial inhibition based on the integration of photodynamic, photothermal, and peroxidase-like enzymatic activities. The unique D-A structure endows TAPP-BDP with a narrow energy band gap, improving its photodynamic and nanozyme activities to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to realize the broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. The extended π-conjugated skeleton of TAPP-BDP results in enhanced absorption in NIR, and the remarkable photothermal activity can increase the temperature up to 65 °C to cause efficient bacterial degeneration. TAPP-BDP shows excellent antibacterial efficiency against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Animal experiments further suggest that TAPP-BDP can effectively heal wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus in living systems.

Abstract
Uranium is a key element in the nuclear industry and also a global environmental contaminant with combined highly toxic and radioactive. Currently, the materials based on post-modification of amidoxime have been developed for uranium detection and adsorption. However, the affinity of amidoxime group for vanadium is stronger than that of uranium, which is the main challenge hindering the practical application of amidoxime-based adsorbents. Herein, we synthesized a fluorescent covalent organic framework (TFPPy-BDOH) through integrating biphenyl diamine and pyrene unit into the π-conjugated framework. TFPPy-BDOH has an excellent selectivity to uranium due to the synergistic effect of nitrogen atom in the imine bond and hydroxyl groups in conjugated framework. It can achieve ultra-fast fluorescence response time (2 s) and ultra-low detection limit (8.8 nM), which may be attributed to its intrinsic regular porous channel structures and excellent hydrophilicity. More excitingly, TFPPy-BDOH can chemically reduce soluble U (VI) to insoluble U (IV), and release the binding site to adsorb additional U (VI), achieving high adsorption capacity of 982.6 ± 49.1 mg g-1. Therefore, TFPPy-BDOH can overcome the challenges faced by current amidoxime-based adsorbents, making it as a potential adsorbent in practical applications.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), as an advanced sensing process, can selectively control the generation of excited states by changing the potential. However, most of the existing ECL systems rely on poisonous coreactants to provide radicals for luminescence; although the ECL efficiency was improved, the athematic coreactants will cause unpredictable interference to the accurate analysis of trace targets. Herein, we realized the ECL of nonemitting molecules by performing intramolecular electron transfer in the olefin-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs), with a high efficiency of 63.7%. Employing internal dissolved oxygen as the coreactant, it is well suitable for the analysis of various complex samples in the environment. Taking nuclear contamination analysis as the goal orientation, we further illustrated a design of a "turn-on" uranyl ion monitoring system integrating fast response, low detection limit, and high selectivity, showing that new ECL-COFs are promising to facilitate environment-related sensing analysis and structure-feature correlation mechanism exploration.

Abstract
2D covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs) have been recognized as a novel class of photoactive materials owing to their extended π-electron conjugation and high chemical stabilities. Herein, a new covalent organic framework (Tph-BDP) is facilely synthesized by using a porphyrin derivative and an organic dye BODIPY derivative (5,5-difluoro-2,8-diformyl-1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-10-phenyl-5H-dipyrrolo[1,2-c:2',1'-f][1,3,2]diazabori-nin-4-ium-5-uide) as monomers for the first time, and their unique photosensitive properties endow them excellent simulated oxidase activity under 635 nm laser irradiation that can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Further findings demonstrate that the presence of uranium (UO22+ ) can coordinate with imines of the oxidation products of TMB, thus modulating the charge transfer process of the colored products accompanied with intensive aggregation and remarkable color fading. This research provides a preparation strategy for COFs with excellent photocatalytic properties and nanozyme activity, and broadens the applications of the simple colorimetric methods for sensitive and selective radionuclide detection.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with stable long-range ordered arrangements are promising materials for organic optoelectronics. However, their electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from non-ECL active monomers has not been realized. Here, we report a design strategy for ECL-emitting COF family. The donors and acceptors co-crystallized and stacked into the highly aligned array of olefin-linked COFs, so that electrons can be transported freely. By this means, a tunable ECL is activated from non-ECL molecules with the maximum efficiency of 32.1% in water with the dissolved oxygen as an inner coreactant, and no additional noxious co-reactant is needed any more. Quantum chemistry calculations further demonstrate that this design reduces the COFs' band gaps and the overlap of electrons and holes in the excited state for better photoelectric properties and stronger ECL signals. This work exploits a basis to envisage the broad application potential of ECL-COFs for various biosensors and light-emitting display.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is regarded as one of the most promising technologies to remove organic contaminants. At present, most of the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) used as photocatalysts are connected by imine or borate bonds, which have relatively low stability and relatively poor π-delocalization. Herein, we report, for the first time, vinylene-linked COFs constructed by various diacetylene and triazine moieties for photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants and disinfection of bacteria. The pioneering introduction of diacetylene moieties not only enhances conjugated π-electrons delocalization but also optimizes the electronic band structures that significantly improve photocatalytic activity. Therefore, the vinylene-bridged COFs have excellent photocatalytic activity with ultrahigh stability and great π-electron delocalization, thus exhibiting ultrafast photocatalytic degradation efficiency for phenol and norfloxacin (>96%, within 15 min). Our work provides a strong basis for the rational regulation of the chemical structure of COFs to enhance their photocatalytic activity, thus broadening the application of COFs in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) plays a key role in analysis and sensing because of its high sensitivity and low background. Its wide applications are however limited by a lack of highly tunable ECL luminophores. Here we develop a scalable method to design ECL emitters of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in aqueous medium by simultaneously restricting the donor and acceptor to the COFs' tight electron configurations and constructing high-speed charge transport networks through olefin linkages. This design allows efficient intramolecular charge transfer for strong ECL, and no exogenous poisonous co-reactants are needed. Olefin-linked donor-acceptor conjugated COFs, systematically synthesized by combining non-ECL active monomers with C2v or C3v symmetry, exhibit strong ECL signals, which can be boosted by increasing the chain length and conjugation of monomers. The present concept demonstrates that the highly efficient COF-based ECL luminophores can be precisely designed, providing a promising direction toward COF-based ECL phosphors.

Abstract
Energy and fresh water are essential for the sustainable development of human society, and both could be obtained from seawater. Herein, we explored the first covalent organic framework (COF) sponge (named BHMS) by in situ loading the benzoxazole-linked COF (DBD-BTTH) onto a porous polymer scaffold (polydimethylsiloxane) as a synergistic platform for efficient solar desalination and selective uranium recovery. In natural seawater, BHMS shows a high evaporation rate (1.39 kg m-2 h-1) and an exceptional uranium recovery capacity (5.14 ± 0.15 mg g-1) under 1 sun, which are due to its desirable inbuilt structural hierarchy and elastic macroporous open cells providing adequate water transport, increased evaporation sites of seawater, and selective binding sites of uranyl. Besides, the excellent photothermal performance and photocatalytic activity endow the BHMS with high solar desalination efficiency and excellent anti-biofouling activity and promote selective coordination of uranyl.

Abstract
Due to the low efficiency of traditional sewage treatment methods, the effective removal of zwitterionic fluoroquinolone (FQs) antibiotics is of vital significant for environment protection. In this work, a SO3H-anchored covalent organic framework (TpPa-SO3H) was deliberately designed by linking phenolic trialdehyde with triamine through Schiff reaction, then low-content Tb3+ ions were loaded onto covalent organic framework according to wet-chemistry immersion dispersion method which benefitting for efficient FQs antibiotics uptaking. Tb@TpPa-SO3H functionalized with regularly distributed sulfonic acid groups and terbium ions which could provide difunctional binding sites. Tb3+ sites could capture carboxylic acid group of FQs molecules according to the complexes coordination effect and sulfonic acid sites play a significant role in the adsorption of FQs molecules through electrostatic interaction with amine group. Tb@TpPa-SO3H with dual complementary function sites exhibited ultra-fast adsorption kinetics (< 2 min, average over 99% removing rate) and high adsorption capacities of 989, 956, and 998 mg g-1 for Norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), respectively. Furthermore, Tb@TpPa-SO3H showed excellent selectivity for the adsorption of FQs in tanglesome system. This work not only explored synergistic adsorption in ion-functionalized 2D covalent organic framework with dual binding sites, but also delineated a promising strategy for the elimination of organic pollutants in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The inherent features of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) make them highly attractive for uranium recovery applications. A key aspect yet to be explored is how to improve the selectivity and efficiency of COFs for recovering uranium from seawater. To achieve this goal, a series of robust and hydrophilic benzoxazole-based COFs is developed (denoted as Tp-DBD, Bd-DBD, and Hb-DBD) as efficient adsorbents for photo-enhanced targeted uranium recovery. Benefiting from the hydroxyl groups and the formation of benzoxazole rings, the hydrophilic Tp-DBD shows outstanding stability and chemical reduction properties. Meanwhile, the synergistic effect of the hydroxyl groups and the benzoxazole rings in the π-conjugated frameworks significantly decrease the optical band gap, and improve the affinity and capacity to uranium recovery. In seawater, the adsorption capacity of uranium is 19.2× that of vanadium, a main interfering metal in uranium extraction.

Abstract
The effective removal of organic pollutants in wastewater is a key environmental challenge. In this work, an anionic covalent organic framework (named TpPa-SO3Na) was synthesized through a green two-in-one synthesis strategy with autocatalytic imine formation. The slowly generated acetic acid as a catalyst is favorable to sustain the reversibility of the covalent organic framework (COF) formation reaction and improve the crystallinity of TpPa-SO3Na. TpPa-SO3Na consists of a homogeneous distribution of sulfonate groups to produce negatively charged regular channels. The strong electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions between the sulfonate groups anchored in the nanochannels and the amine groups in organic pollutants improve the adsorption selectivity and capacity. These structures allow a high degree of control over adsorption processes to boost the adsorption kinetics and improve selective separation. TpPa-SO3Na exhibits ultrafast adsorption (<1 min) of cationic antibiotics and dyes (average over 95%). Furthermore, TpPa-SO3Na exhibits high selectivity for the uptake of dye molecules on the basis of the differences in charge and molecular size. This work explored functional designs and green manufacturing of anionic COFs for removal of hydrophilic organic pollutants.

Herein, the performance of electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction for the production of α-Fe2 O3 nanospindles coated with mesoporous TiO2 with different crystallinity [denoted as α-Fe2 O3 @mTiO2 -X (X=300, 400, and 500 °C)] were investigated. The as-prepared α-Fe2 O3 @mTiO2 -400 composite exhibits a large NH3 yield (27.2 μg h-1 mgcat. -1 ) at -0. 5 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode and a high Faradaic efficiency (13.3 %) in 0.1 m Na2 SO4 , with excellent electrochemical durability. This work presents a novel avenue for the rational design of efficient unique hetero-phase nanocatalysts toward sustainable electrocatalytic N2 fixation.

Abstract
Uranium is an important element in the nuclear industry while the discharge of radioactive wastewater can cause serious damages to the environment. In this work, an ultra-stable sp2 carbon-conjugated covalent organic framework (COF-PDAN-AO) is synthesized with amidoxime-substituted monomers for detection and efficient adsorption of uranium from radioactive wastewater. Abundant amidoxime groups laced on the open 1D channels of COF-PDAN-AO exhibit exceptional accessibility and the regular pores facilitate the mass transfer. Based on these features, COF-PDAN-AO achieves ultra-low detection limit of 6.5 nM, high uranium adsorption capacity (410 mg/g) and selective interaction with uranium. In addition, various spectroscopies verify COF-PDAN-AO possesses excellent radioresistance in acidic solution. Regeneration studies have shown that COF-PDAN-AO maintained good structural stability after seven cycles. These results indicate that our sp2 carbon conjugated COF can be potentially used for practical detection and adsorption of uranium from radioactive wastewater. This strategy can be extended to detection and extraction of other contaminants by designing the target ligand.
