AI Article Synopsis

  • Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) feature unique structures with hierarchical nanopores and high porosity, making them potentially valuable in various fields.
  • The synthesis of large COF crystals is challenging due to the formation of different structures, but new methods using diverse building units have been developed to create novel topologies.
  • COFs have a wide range of applications including chemical sensing, electronic device fabrication, and serving as heterogeneous catalysts.

Article Abstract

Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks possess hierarchical nanopores, enormous surface areas with high porosity, and open positions. The synthesis of large crystals of three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks is a challenge, since different structures are generated during the synthesis. Presently, their synthesis with new topologies for promising applications has been developed by the use of building units with varied geometries. Covalent organic frameworks have multiple applications: chemical sensing, fabrication of electronic devices, heterogeneous catalysts, etc. We have presented the techniques for the synthesis of three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, their properties, and their potential applications in this review.
