Amination of aryl chlorides by metallaphotocatalysis is highly desired but remains practically challenging. Meanwhile, relying on soluble noble‐metal photocatalysts suffers from resource scarcity and structural instability which limit their practical application. Here in, a highly crystalline acetylene‐based hydrazone‐linked covalent organic framewok‐1 (AC‐COF‐1) is reported that enables metallaphotocatalytic...
Techniques beyond crystal engineering are critical for manufacturing covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and to explore them for advanced applications. However, COFs are normally obtained as insoluble, unmeltable, and thus nonprocessible microcrystalline powders. Therefore, it is a significant challenge to implement COFs into larger architectures and structural control on different length scales. Herein,...
In the context of thin‐film nanocomposite membranes with interlayer (TFNi), nanoparticles are deposited uniformly onto the support prior to the formation of the polyamide (PA) layer. The successful implementation of this approach relies on the ability of nanoparticles to meet strict requirements regarding their sizes, dispersibility, and compatibility. Nevertheless, the synthesis of covalent organic...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new class of cathode materials for energy storage in recent years. However, they are limited to two‐dimensional (2D) or three‐dimensional (3D) framework structures. Herein, this work reports designed synthesis of a redox‐active one‐dimensional (1D) COF and its composites with 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via in situ growth. Used as cathode materials...
The well‐defined 2D or 3D structure of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) makes it have great potential in photoelectric conversion and ions conduction fields.

Low conductivity over a wide temperature region due to ultra‐slow ion migration dynamics is a key issue in the field of solid‐state electrolytes (SSE), which needs to be solved and improved. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a rapidly growing class of porous crystalline materials, emerge as a new research hotspot in the field of SSEs. This is due to their homogeneously dispersed sites and well‐defined...
Membrane‐based carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and separation technologies have aroused great interest in industry and academia due to their great potential to combat current global warming, reduce energy consumption in chemical separation of raw materials, and achieve carbon neutrality. The emerging covalent organic frameworks (COFs) composed of organic linkers via reversible covalent bonds are a class...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers is seriously restricted by tumor hypoxia. In addition to the intrinsic hypoxic microenvironment, continuous photoirradiation further aggravates intratumoral hypoxia, thereby reducing the PDT effect significantly. Oxygen‐independent PDT is recognized as an efficient approach to overcome this issue. Herein, singlet oxygen (1O2)‐stored covalent organic framework...
The development of highly active carbon‐based bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desired, but still full of challenges in rechargeable Zn–air batteries. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained great attention for various applications due to their attractive features of structural...
2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are considered as one kind of the most promising crystalline porous materials for solar‐driven hydrogen production. However, adding noble metal co‐catalysts into the COFs‐based photocatalytic system is always indispensable.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which induces cell death by decomposing high levels of H2O2 in tumor cells into highly toxic ·OH, is recognized as a promising antineoplastic approach. However, current CDT approaches are often restricted by the highly controlled and upregulated cellular antioxidant defense. To enhance ·OH‐induced cellular damage by CDT, a covalent organic framework (COF)‐based, ferrocene...
Developing functionalized 3D covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) is critical to broaden their potential applications. However, the introduction of specific functionality in 3D COFs remains a great challenge because most of the functional groups are not compatible with the synthesis conditions.

Due to the tunable skeletons, variable pore environments, and predesignable structures, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be served as a versatile platform to tailor redox activities for efficient energy storage. Redox‐active COFs with specific functional groups can not only promote high‐speed mass transport in the permanently open channels, but also provide dense active sites for reversible...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), connecting different organic units into one system through covalent bonds, are crystalline organic porous materials with 2D or 3D networks.
