Covalent organic frameworks (COF) with periodic porous structures and tunable functionalities are a new class of crystalline polymers connected via strong covalent bonds. Constructing COF materials with high stability and porosity is attracting and essential for COFs' further functional exploration. In this work, two new covalent organic frameworks (TTA-TMTA-COF and TTA-FMTA-COF) with high surface area, large pore volume, and excellent chemical stability toward harsh conditions are designed and synthesized by integrating the methoxy functional groups into the networks. Both two COFs are further employed for iodine removal since radioactive iodine in nuclear waste has seriously threatened the natural environment and human health. TTA-TMTA-COF and TTA-FMTA-COF can capture 3.21 and 5.07 g g iodine, respectively. Notably, the iodine capture capacity for iodine of TTA-FMTA-COF does not show any decline after being recycled five times. These results demonstrate both COFs possess ultrahigh capacity and excellent recyclability.

Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (AZIBs) are gaining attention as next-generation energy storage systems due to their high theoretical capacity, enhanced safety, and cost-effectiveness. However, their practical application is hindered by challenges such as slow reaction kinetics and the persistent polyiodide shuttle effect. To address these limitations, we developed a novel class of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) featuring electron-rich nitrogen sites with varied density and distribution (N1-N4) along the pore walls.

The MXene, which is usually transition metal carbide, nitride, and carbonitride, is one of the emerging family of 2D materials, exhibiting considerable potential across various research areas. Despite theoretical versatility, practical application of MXene is prohibited due to its spontaneous oxidative degradation. This review meticulously discusses the factors influencing the oxidation of MXenes, considering both thermodynamic and kinetic point of view.

The catalytic conversion of CO into valuable chemicals using metalized covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as catalysts is a promising method for reducing atmospheric CO levels. Herein, a aldehyde-amine COF (TAPT-Tp) at room temperature and pressure and their metallized results is synthesized, Ni-TAPT-Tp and Ti-TAPT-Tp. The photocatalytic results indicate that the CO to CO reduction rate is 6182.

Matrix effects pose a significant challenge in food analysis for the quantitative analysis of complex food samples. Herein, a novel magnetic covalent organic framework nanocomposite and the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction-based stable isotope labeling (SIL) method were presented for highly selective and sensitive detection of steroid hormones in food samples using HPLC-MS/MS. The nanocomposite, FeO@TAPB-COF, with a core-shell structure exhibited high adsorption capacities for steroid hormones.

Chiral binaphthols (BINOL)-metal combinations serve as powerful catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Their chiral induction mode, however, typically relies on multifarious non-covalent interactions between the substrate and the BINOL ligand. In this work, we demonstrate that the chiral-at-metal stereoinduction mode could serve as an alternative mechanism for BINOL-metal catalysis, based on mechanistic studies of BINOL-aluminum-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of heteroaryl ketones.
