[PMID: 38401314 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Bisphenols (BPs) can migrate from packaging materials into foods, resulting in potentially harmful residues. For example, accumulation of BPs is associated with endocrine disorders. Owing to matrix effects, development of an effective and eco-friendly sample pretreatment would be helpful for BPs detection in beverages packed in plastic containers. In this work, an extraction bar, composed of hollow fiber (HF) functionalized with covalent organic frameworks (COF@Tp-NDA) and 1-ocanol, was prepared for extraction of five BPs simultaneously. The synergistic effect of COF@Tp-NDA and 1-octanol improved the extraction efficiency of BPs from milk-based beverage, juice, and tea beverage. Under optimal conditions, limits of detection ranged from 0.10 to 2.00 ng mL-1 (R2 ≥ 0.9974) and recoveries ranged from 70.1 % to 106.8 %. This method has the potential to enrich BPs, supporting their accurate determination in complex beverages.

Abstract
In applications utilizing Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) for adsorption, the interplay between crystallinity (vis-à-vis surface area) and active sites still remains ambiguous. To address this, the present study introduces three isoreticular COFs-COP-N18 (covalent organic polymer with short-range order), COF-N18 (COF having long-range order), and COF-N27 (semicrystalline COF with pyridyl heteroatoms)-to explore this duality. Through systematic variations in structural order, pore volume, and pore-wall nitrogen content, we aim to establish a structure-activity relationship (SAR) for these COFs via adsorption and catalysis, using CO2 and I2 as probes. Our investigation highlights the positive influence of crystallinity, surface area, and pore volume in adsorption as well as catalysis. However, the presence of heteroatoms manifests complex behavior in CO2 adsorption and CO2 cycloaddition reactions with epoxides. COF-N18 and COF-N27 showed comparable CO2 uptake capacities at different temperatures (273, 293, and 313 K) and ∼1 bar pressure. Additionally, CO2 cycloaddition reactions were performed with substrates possessing different polarities (epichlorohydrin, 1,2-epoxydodecane) to elucidate the role of COF surface polarity. Further investigation into iodine adsorption was performed to understand the impact of COF structural features on the modes of adsorption and adsorption kinetics. Improvements in COF-crystallinity results in faster average iodine uptake rate at 80% (K80% = 1.79 g/h) by COF-N18. Whereas, heteroatom doping slows down iodine adsorption kinetics (0.35 g/h) by prolonging the adsorption process up to 72 h. Overall, this study advances our understanding of COFs as adsorbents and catalysts, providing key insights into their SAR while emphasizing structural fine-tuning as a key factor for impactful environmental applications.

ACS NANO 2024; 18:16091-16100. [PMID: 38860455 PMCID: PMC11210340 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c12167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous materials whose sorption properties have so far been studied primarily by physisorption. Quantifying the self-diffusion of guest molecules inside their nanometer-sized pores allows for a better understanding of confinement effects or transport limitations and is thus essential for various applications ranging from molecular separation to catalysis. Using a combination of pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the self-diffusion of acetonitrile and chloroform in the 1D pore channels of two imine-linked COFs (PI-3-COF) with different levels of crystallinity and porosity. The higher crystallinity and porosity sample exhibited anisotropic diffusion for MeCN parallel to the pore direction, with a diffusion coefficient of Dpar = 6.1(3) × 10-10 m2 s-1 at 300 K, indicating 1D transport and a 7.4-fold reduction in self-diffusion compared to the bulk liquid. This finding aligns with molecular dynamics simulations predicting 5.4-fold reduction, assuming an offset-stacked COF layer arrangement. In the low-porosity sample, more frequent diffusion barriers result in isotropic, yet significantly reduced diffusivities (DB = 1.4(1) × 10-11 m2 s-1). Diffusion coefficients for chloroform at 300 K in the pores of the high- (Dpar = 1.1(2) × 10-10 m2 s-1) and low-porosity (DB = 4.5(1) × 10-12 m2 s-1) samples reproduce these trends. Our multimodal study thus highlights the significant influence of real structure effects such as stacking faults and grain boundaries on the long-range diffusivity of molecular guest species while suggesting efficient intracrystalline transport at short diffusion times.

Abstract
Synthesizing uniform functional covalent organic framework (COF) microspheres is the prerequisite of applying COFs as novel stationary phases for liquid chromatography. However, the synthesis of functionalized COF microspheres is challenging due to the difficulty in maintaining microspheric morphology when conferring functions. Here, a facile and universal "self-limited dynamic linker exchange" strategy is developed to achieve surface functionalization of uniform COF microspheres. Six different types of COF microspheres are constructed, showing the universality and superiority of the strategy. The library of COF microspheres' stationary phases can be further enriched on demand by varying different functional building blocks. The "self-limited dynamic linker exchange" is attributed to the result of a delicate balance of reaction thermodynamics and molecular diffusion energy barrier. As a demonstration, the chiral functional COF microspheres are used as stationary phases of chiral chromatography and realized effective enantioseparation.

Abstract
Microspherical structures find broad application in chemistry and materials science, including in separations and purifications, energy storage and conversion, organic and biocatalysis, and as artificial and bioactive scaffolds. Despite this utility, the systematic diversification of their morphology and function remains hindered by the limited range of their molecular building blocks. Drawing upon the design principles of reticular synthesis, where diverse organic molecules generate varied porous frameworks, we show herein how analogous microspherical structures can be generated under mild conditions. The assembly of simple organic molecules into microspherical structures with advanced morphologies represents a grand challenge. Beginning with a partially condensed Schiff base which self-assembles into a hierarchical organic microsphere, we systematically synthesized sixteen microspheres from diverse molecular building blocks. We subsequently explicate the mechanism of hierarchical assembly through which these hierarchical organic microspheres are produced, isolating the initial monomer, intermediate substructures, and eventual microspheres. Furthermore, the open cavities present on the surfaces of these constructs provided distinctive adsorptive properties, which we harnessed for the immobilization of enzymes and bacteriophages. Holistically, these hierarchical organic microspheres provide an approach for designing multi-functional superstructures with advanced morphologies derived from simple organic molecules, revealing an extended length scale for reticular synthesis.

Abstract
Synthesis of covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) with high aspect ratio is crucial to their assembly into advanced membranes. Nonetheless, the π-π stacking between covalent organic framework (COF) layers often leads to thick CONs. Herein, inspired by biomineralization process, a series of aspect ratio CONs >15 000 is synthesized by multifunctional polyelectrolytes which not only provide the nucleation sites for pre-assembly with COF monomer, but also suppress π-π interaction for anisotropic growth through protonation. The membrane assembled from CONs exhibited water permeance of 341 kg m-2 h-1 and salt rejection of 99.5% in desalination, outperforming ever-reported membranes. This method establishes a platform for the synthesis of crystalline nanosheets.

Abstract
The emerging role of Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) as therapeutics is alluring. However, RNAs are extremely labile under ambient conditions and typically need to be stored in cryogenic conditions (-20 °C to -80 °C). Hence, storage, stabilization, and transportation of RNA under ambient conditions have been an arduous task and remain an unsolved problem. In this work, a guanidinium-based ionic covalent organic framework (COF), TTGCl with nanotubular morphology, was synthesized and used as nano-reservoirs for room-temperature storage of RNA. To understand the role of the nanotubular morphology and chemical nature of TTGCl in stabilizing the RNA structure and for comparison purposes, a neutral COF, TMT-TT, is synthesized and studied. Further, density functional theory (DFT) studies confirmed non-covalent interaction between the COFs and the RNA nucleobases, facilitating reversible storage of RNA. RNA loaded in COFs was found to be resistant to enzymatic degradation when treated with RNase. Gel electrophoresis and sequencing confirmed the structural integrity of the recovered RNAs and their further processibility.

Abstract
The development of metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) is significant but rarely demonstrated. Porous organic polymers (POPs) with well-defined electroactive functionalities show superior performance in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Precise control of the active sites' local environment requires careful modulation of linkers through the judicious selection of building units. Here, a systematic strategy is introduced for modulating functionality to design and synthesize a series of thianthrene-based bifunctional sp2 C═C bonded POPs with hollow spherical morphologies exhibiting superior electrocatalytic activity. This precise structural tuning allowed to gain insight into the effects of heteroatom incorporation, hydrophilicity, and variations in linker length on electrocatalytic activity. The most efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst THT-PyDAN achieves a current density of 10 mA cm─2 at an overpotential (η10) of ≈65 mV (in 0.5 m H2SO4) and ≈283 mV (in 1 m KOH) for HER and OER, respectively. THT-PyDAN exhibits superior activity to all previously reported metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts in the literature. Furthermore, these investigations demonstrate that THT-PyDAN maintains its performance even after 36 h of chronoamperometry and 1000 CV cycling. Post-catalytic characterization using FT-IR, XPS, and microscopic imaging techniques underscores the long-term durability of THT-PyDAN.

Abstract
The first synthesis and comprehensive characterization of two vinyl tetrazine-linked covalent organic frameworks (COF), TA-COF-1 and TA-COF-2, are reported. These materials exhibit high crystallinity and high specific surface areas of 1323 and 1114 m2 g-1. The COFs demonstrate favorable band positions and narrow band gaps suitable for light-driven applications. These advantages enable TA-COFs to act as reusable metal-free photocatalysts in the arylboronic acids oxidation and light-induced coupling of benzylamines. In addition, these TA-COFs show acid sensing capabilities, exhibiting visible and reversible color changes upon exposure to HCl solution, HCl vapor, and NH3 vapor. Further, the TA-COFs outperform a wide range of previously reported COF photocathodes. The tetrazine linker in the COF skeleton represents a significant advancement in the field of COF synthesis, enhancing the separation efficiency of charge carriers during the photoreaction and contributing to their photocathodic properties. TA-COFs can also degrade 5-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO), an insensitive explosive present in industrial wastewater, in 20 min in a sunlight-driven photocatalytic process; thus, revealing dual functionality of the protonated TA-COFs as both photodegradation and Brønsted acid catalysts. This pioneering work opens new avenues for harnessing the potential of the tetrazine linker in COF-based materials, facilitating advances in catalysis, sensing, and other related fields.

Abstract
β-Keto-enamine-linked 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as highly robust materials, showing significant potential for practical applications. However, the exclusive reliance on 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp aldehyde) in the design of such COFs often results in the production of non-porous amorphous polymers when combined with certain amine building blocks. Attempts to adjust the crystallinity and porosity by a modulator approach are inefficient because Tp aldehyde readily forms stable β-keto-enamine-linked monomers/oligomers with various aromatic amines through an irreversible keto-enol tautomerization process. Our research employed a unique protection-deprotection strategy to enhance the crystallinity and porosity of β-keto-enamine-linked squaramide-based 2D COFs. Advanced solid-state NMR studies, including 1D 13 C CPMAS, 1 H fast MAS, 15 N CPMAS, 2D 13 C-1 H correlation, 1 H-1 H DQ-SQ, and 14 N-1 H HMQC NMR were used to establish the atomic-level connectivity within the resultant COFs. The TpOMe -Sqm COFs synthesized utilizing this strategy have a surface area of 487 m2 g-1 , significantly higher than similar COFs synthesized using Tp aldehyde. Furthermore, detailed time-dependent PXRD, solid-state 13 C CPMAS NMR, and theoretical DFT studies shed more light on the crystallization and linkage conversion processes in these 2D COFs. Ultimately, we applied this protection-deprotection method to construct novel keto-enamine-linked highly porous organic polymers with a surface area of 1018 m2 g-1 .

Abstract
The development of synthetic routes for the formation of robust porous organic polymers (POPs) with well-defined nanoscale morphology is fundamentally significant for their practical applications. The thermodynamic characteristics that arise from reversible covalent bonding impart intrinsic chemical instability in the polymers, thereby impeding their overall potential. Herein, a unique strategy is reported to overcome the stability issue by designing robust imidazole-linked POPs via tandem reversible/irreversible bond formation. Incorporating inherent rigidity into the secondary building units leads to robust microporous polymeric nanostructures with hollow-spherical morphologies. An in-depth analysis by extensive solid-state NMR (1D and 2D) study on 1H, 13C, and 14N nuclei elucidates the bonding and reveals the high purity of the newly designed imidazole-based POPs. The nitrogen-rich polymeric nanostructures are further used as metal-free electrocatalysts for water splitting. In particular, the rigid POPs show excellent catalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with long-term durability. Among them, the most efficient OER electrocatalyst (TAT-TFBE) requires 314 mV of overpotential to drive 10 mA cm-2 current density, demonstrating its superiority over state-of-the-art catalysts (RuO2 and IrO2).

Abstract
In this work, the functionalized covalent organic framework (COF) was prepared via a convenient ball milling process. The aldehyde group terminated COF-F reacted with amino thiadiazole in the ball milling jar under mechanical forces; hence, the thiadiazole functionalized COF-F was obtained and denoted as Thdz@COF-F. The as-prepared Thdz@COF-F serves as an oil-based lubricant additive and exhibits remarkable tribological properties, which can reduce the average friction coefficient of base oil from 0.169 to 0.102 and decrease the wear volume by 87.0%. The antifriction and antiwear performances are mainly due to the repairing effect of Thdz@COF-F nanoparticles and the protective tribo-film that averts the direct contact of friction pairs. In addition, through the ball milling method, triazole and thiazole functionalized COF-F were also prepared and represented good lubrication performance, demonstrating the feasibility of this mechanochemical synthesis method for functionalized COFs.

Abstract
Crystalline polymer materials, e.g., hyper-crosslinked polystyrene, conjugate microporous polymers and covalent organic frameworks, are used as catalyst carriers, organic electronic devices and molecular sieves. Their properties and applications are highly dependent on their crystallinity. An efficient polymerization strategy for the rapid preparation of highly or single-crystalline materials is beneficial not only to structure-property studies but also to practical applications. However, polymerization usually leads to the formation of amorphous or poorly crystalline products with small grain sizes. It has been a challenging task to efficiently and precisely assemble organic molecules into a single crystal through polymerization. To address this issue, we developed a supercritically solvothermal method that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) as the reaction medium for polymerization. Sc-CO2 accelerates crystal growth due to its high diffusivity and low viscosity compared with traditional organic solvents. Six covalent organic frameworks with different topologies, linkages and crystal structures are synthesized by this method. The as-synthesized products feature polarized photoluminescence and second-harmonic generation, indicating their high-quality single-crystal nature. This method holds advantages such as rapid growth rate, high productivity, easy accessibility, industrial compatibility and environmental friendliness. In this protocol, we provide a step-by-step procedure including preparation of monomer dispersion, polymerization in sc-CO2, purification and characterization of the single crystals. By following this protocol, it takes 1-5 min to grow sub-mm-sized single crystals by polymerization. The procedure takes ~4 h from preparation of monomer dispersion and polymerization in sc-CO2 to purification and drying of the product.

Abstract
Water treatment has experienced a surge in the adoption of membrane separation technology. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of metal-free and open-framework materials, have emerged as potential membrane materials owing to their interconnected periodic porosity, tunability, and chemical stability. However, the challenges associated with processing COF powders into self-standing membranes have spurred the emergence of COF composite membranes. This review article highlights the rationale behind developing COF composite membranes and their categories, including mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and thin film composite (TFC) membranes. The common fabrication techniques of each category are presented. In addition, the influence of COF additives on the performance of the resultant composite membranes is systematically discussed, with a focus on the recent progress in applying COF composite membranes in the separation of different categories of water pollutants, including organic ions/molecules, toxic solvents, proteins, toxic heavy metals, and radionuclides.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries stand out for their high theoretical specific capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, the practical implementation of Li-S batteries is hindered by issues such as the shuttle effect, tardy redox kinetics, and dendrite growth. Herein, an appealingly designed covalent organic framework (COF) with bi-functional active sites of cyanide groups and polysulfide chains (COF-CN-S) is developed as cooperative functional promoters to simultaneously address dendrites and shuttle effect issues. Combining in situ techniques and theoretical calculations, it can be demonstrated that the unique chemical architecture of COF-CN-S is capable of performing the following functions: 1) The COF-CN-S delivers significantly enhanced Li+ transport capability due to abundant ion-hopping sites (cyano-groups); 2) it functions as a selective ion sieve by regulating the dynamic behavior of polysulfide anions and Li+ , thus inhibiting shuttle effect and dendrite growth; 3) by acting as a redox mediator, the COF-CN-S can effectively control the electrochemical behavior of polysulfides and enhance their conversion kinetics. Based on the above advantages, the COF-CN-S endows Li-S batteries with excellent performance. This study highlights the significance of interface modification and offers novel insights into the rational design of organic materials in the Li-S realm.

Abstract
The reasonable design and fabrication of heterojunction could regulate the photocatalytic performance to some extent, yet it is still a great challenge to construct the S-scheme heterostructure with the stable as well as tight interface on the surface of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, the ZnIn2S4/Cu2MoS4 (ZIS/CMS) S-scheme heterostructure was fabricated by in-situ assembling ZIS nanosheets on the CMS plates, obtaining a mossy tile-like morphology. Owing to the compact interface resulting from in-situ growth, this unique architecture efficiently facilitated the separation and transfer of light-induced charges, guaranteed the larger interface area, and enriched the active sites for photocatalytic redox reactions. After adjusting the mass ratio of CMS in ZIS/CMS, S-scheme heterostructure exhibited the remarkable performance with an optimal H2 producing rate up to 1298 μmol·h-1 g-1, about 13.8 times than that of pristine ZIS. The mechanism and driving force of charge transfer and separation in S-scheme heterostructure photocatalysts were explained and discussed. This investigation will provide new insight into design and construction of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for H2 evolution.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a periodic network of permanent porosity and ordered structures have witnessed enormous potential in many applications. However, the synthesis of COFs with controllable morphologies under mild conditions remains a critical issue. Herein, we report a novel strategy to synthesize β-ketoenamine-linked COFs by emulsion polymerization via phase transfer catalysis for the first time. This new approach employs commercially available pyridinium surfactants as emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization, which function as both catalysts and morphological regulators. By controlling the interfacial interaction in the emulsion, the TpPa-COF can be prepared into different morphologies, i.e., spheres, bowls, and fibers. Furthermore, the COF emulsion can be directly used to prepare a film by applying an electric field, providing a new route to prepare COF films. This phase transfer catalysis method also allows the synthesis of the TpPa-COF on a gram scale. The strategy is fast, facile, and effective in improving the morphology and particle size, providing a prospective route for the green preparation of functional COFs.

Abstract
Due to the enormous chemical and structural diversities and designable properties and functionalities, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great promise as tailored materials for industrial applications in electronics, biology, and energy technologies. They were typically obtained as partially crystalline materials, although a few single-crystal three-dimensional (3D) COFs have been obtained recently with structures probed by diffraction techniques. However, it remains challenging to grow single-crystal COFs with controlled morphology and to elucidate the local structures of 3D COFs, imposing severe limitations on the applications and understanding of the local structure-property correlations. Herein, we develop a method for designed growth of five types of single crystalline flakes of 3D COFs with controlled morphology, front crystal facets, and defined edge structures as well as surface chemistry using surfactants that can be self-assembled into layered structures to confine crystal growth in water. The flakes enable direct observation of local structures including monomer units, pore structure, edge structure, grain boundary, and lattice distortion of 3D COFs as well as gradually curved surfaces in kinked but single crystalline 3D COFs with a resolution of up to ∼1.7 Å. In comparison with flakes of two-dimensional crystals, the synthesized flakes show much higher chemical, mechanical, and thermal stability.

Abstract
Photocatalytic technique is regarded as the cleanest approach for producing H2O2. Herein, two kinds of novel polyimide COFs decorated with CQDs (namely, MPa-COFs/CQDs and MNd-COFs/CQDs) were constructed by using the one-pot hydrothermal method. Due to the electron donor role of CQDs, the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes was suppressed after the combination of polyimide COFs with CQDs. Importantly, the introduction of CQDs not only boosted the absorbing ability of polyimide COFs toward visible light but also reduced the impedance and improved the charge transfer efficiency. After CQDs were embedded into polyimide COFs, the surface hydrophilicity of catalysts was significantly improved, which provided convenience for the water oxidation reaction. Benefiting from the electron donor-acceptor interaction between polyimide COFs and CQDs, a step-by-step two-electron oxygen reduction reaction over polyimide COFs was enhanced. More interestingly, the embedding of CQDs can create a direct two-electron water oxidation reaction pathway, which played an important role in photocatalytic H2O2 generation. Meanwhile, H+ generated from water oxidation can also be used for the reduction of oxygen to form H2O2. Under the synergistic effects of water oxidation and oxygen reduction, as-prepared MPa-COFs/CQDs-2 displayed excellent performance in photocatalytic H2O2 generation, and its yield was as high as 540 μmol/g within 60 min. In short, the current work shared an effective strategy to improve the performance of polyimide COFs in photocatalytic H2O2 production.

Abstract
Precise tailoring of the aggregation state of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to form a hierarchical porous structure is critical to their performance and applications. Here, we report a one-pot and one-step strategy of using dynamic combinatorial chemistry to construct imine-based hollow COFs containing meso- and macropores. It relies on a direct copolymerization of three or more monomers in the presence of two monofunctional competitors. The resulting particle products possess high crystallinity and hierarchical pores, including micropores around 0.93 nm, mesopores widely distributed in the range of 3.1-32 nm, and macropores at about 500 nm, while the specific surface area could be up to 748 m2·g-1, with non-micropores accounting for 60% of the specific surface area. The particles demonstrate unique advantages in the application as nanocarriers for in situ loading of Pd catalysts at 93.8% loading efficiency in the copolymerization of ethylene and carbon monoxide. The growth and assembly of the copolymer could thus be regulated to form flower-shaped particles, efficiently suppressing the fouling of the reactor. The copolymer's weight-average molecular weight and the melting temperature are also highly improved. Our method provides a facile way of fabricating COFs with hierarchical pores for advanced applications in catalysis.

Abstract
As the promising next-generation energy storage solution, lithium metal battery (LMB) has gained great attention but still suffers from troubles associated with the highly active metallic lithium. Herein, it is aimed to develop an anode-free LMB engaging no Li disk or foil by modifying the Cu current collector with mercapto metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) impregnating Ag nanoparticles (NPs). While the polar mercapto groups facilitate and guide Li+ transport, the highly lithiophilic Ag NPs help to enhance the electric conductivity and lower the energy barrier of Li nucleation. Furthermore, the MOF pores allow compartmentalizing bulk Li into a 3D matrix Li storage so that not only the local current density is reduced, but also is the plating/stripping reversibility greatly enhanced. As a result, full cells pairing the prelithiated Ag@Zr-DMBD/Cu anodes with LiFePO4 cathodes demonstrate a high initial specific capacity of 159.8 mAh g-1 , first-cycle Coulombic efficiency of 96.6%, and long-term cycling stability over 1000 cycles with 99.3% capacity retention at 1 C. This study underlines the multi-aspect functionalization of MOFs to impart lithiophilicity, polarity, and porosity to achieve reversible Li plating/stripping and paves the way for realizing high-performance anode-free LMBs through exquisite modification of the Cu current collector.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of crystalline porous organic polymers with periodic networks that are constructed from small molecular units via covalent bonds, which have low densities, high porosity, large specific surface area, and ease of functionalization. The one-dimension nanochannels in COFs offer an effective means of transporting lithium ions while maintaining a stable structure over a wide range of temperatures. As a new category of ionic conductors, COFs exhibit unparalleled application potential in solid-state electrolytes. Here, we provide a comprehensive summary of recent applications and research progress for COFs in solid-state electrolytes of lithium metal batteries and discuss the possible development directions in the future. This review is expected to provide theoretical guidance for the design of high-performance solid-state electrolytes.

Abstract
Metal-porphyrins or metal-phthalocyanines-based organic frameworks (POFs), an emerging family of metal-N-C materials, have attracted widespread interest for application in electrocatalysis due to their unique metal-N4 coordination structure, high conjugated π-electron system, tunable components, and chemical stability. The key challenges of POFs as high-performance electrocatalysts are the need for rational design for porphyrins/phthalocyanines building blocks and an in-depth understanding of structure-activity relationships. Herein, the synthesis methods, the catalytic activity modulation principles, and the electrocatalytic behaviors of 2D/3D POFs are summarized. Notably, detailed pathways are given for modulating the intrinsic activity of the M-N4 site by the microenvironments, including central metal ions, substituent groups, and heteroatom dopants. Meanwhile, the topology tuning and hybrid system, which affect the conjugation network or conductivity of POFs, are also considered. Furthermore, the representative electrocatalytic applications of structured POFs in efficient and environmental-friendly energy conversion areas, such as carbon dioxide reduction reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and water splitting are briefly discussed. Overall, this comprehensive review focusing on the frontier will provide multidisciplinary and multi-perspective guidance for the subsequent experimental and theoretical progress of POFs and reveal their key challenges and application prospects in future electrocatalytic energy conversion systems.

Abstract
The shape and morphology modulations of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are both difficult, but are of significance to tackle to realize high-performance and practical applications. Here, a two-step method is reported that separates the phase separation and crystallization processes for the shape-controlled synthesis of COFs. The insight into the polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) allows for the flexible shaping of COFs into column, rod, film and others, as well as for constructing hierarchically porous structure. The as-synthesized COF monoliths are crack-free, no powder detaching, and show 214 MPa of compressive modulus. The resulting good permeability and mechanical flexibility enable COF films to apply for flow-through adsorption and extraction of pollutants at high flow rates. This work successfully resolves the contradiction between PIPS and crystallization, offering a general approach for scalable production of COFs with desired shapes, sizes, and morphologies.

Irreversible locking of imine linkages into stable linkages represents a promising strategy to improve the robustness and functionality of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). We report, for the first time, a multi-component one-pot reaction (OPR) for imine annulation to construct highly stable nonsubstituted quinoline-bridged COFs (NQ-COFs), and that equilibrium regulation of reversible/irreversible cascade reactions by addition of MgSO4 desiccant is crucial to achieve high conversion efficiency and crystallinity. The higher long-range order and surface area of NQ-COFs synthesized by this OPR than those of the reported two-step post-synthetic modification (PSM) facilitate charge carrier transfer and photogeneration ability of superoxide radicals (O2˙-), which makes these NQ-COFs more efficient photocatalysts for O2˙- mediated synthesis of 2-benzimidazole derivatives. The general applicability of this synthetic strategy is demonstrated by fabricating 12 other crystalline NQ-COFs with a diversity of topologies and functional groups.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) combine at least three reactants to afford the desired product in a highly atom-economic way and are therefore viewed as efficient one-pot combinatorial synthesis tools allowing one to significantly boost molecular complexity and diversity. Nowadays, MCRs are no longer confined to organic synthesis and have found applications in materials chemistry. In particular, MCRs can be used to prepare covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline porous materials assembled from organic monomers and exhibit a broad range of properties and applications. This synthetic approach retains the advantages of small-molecule MCRs, not only strengthening the skeletal robustness of COFs, but also providing additional driving forces for their crystallization, and has been used to prepare a series of robust COFs with diverse applications. The present perspective article provides the general background for MCRs, discusses the types of MCRs employed for COF synthesis to date, and addresses the related critical challenges and future perspectives to inspire the MCR-based design of new robust COFs and promote further progress in this emerging field.
