Covalent Organic Frameworks Meet Titanium Oxide.

In order to expand the applicability of materials and improve their performance, the combined use of different materials has increasingly been explored. Among these materials, inorganic-organic hybrid materials often exhibit properties superior to those of single materials. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are famous crystalline porous materials constructed by organic building blocks linked by covalent bonds. In recent years, the combination of COFs with other materials has shown interesting properties in diverse fields, and the composite materials of COFs and TiO have been investigated more and more. These two outstanding materials are combined through covalent bonding, physical mixing, and other methods and exhibit excellent performance in various fields, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, sensors, separation, and energy storage and conversion. In this Review, the current preparation methods and applications of COF-TiO hybrid materials are introduced in detail, and their future development and possible problems are discussed and prospected, which is of great significance for related research. It is believed that these interesting hybrid materials will show greater application value as research progresses.
