With the pressing urgency to reduce carbon footprint, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction has attracted growing attention as a sustainable mitigating option. Considering the important role of catalytic active sites (CASs) in the catalytic processes, control and design of the density and environment of CASs could enhance the catalyst performance. Herein, we report a novel metal-covalent organic framework (MCOF), MCOF-Co-315, featuring earth-abundant Co cocatalysts and conjugation through a covalently bonded backbone. MCOF-Co-315 showed a CO production rate of 1616 μmol g h utilizing Ru(bpy)Cl as photosensitizer and triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial electron donor with a 1.5 AM filter, vis mirror module (390-740 nm), and irradiation intensity adjusted to 1 sun and an especially outstanding apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 9.13% at 450 nm. The photocatalytic reaction was studied with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and in situ synchrotron Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and an underlying mechanism is proposed.

Metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs), an emerging type of porous material, have the combined advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Of particular interest are MCOF nanosheets with two-dimensional morphology, whose fully exposed active sites and quasi-molecular size are expected to exhibit maximum functionality for a wide range of applications. However, due to their strong interlayer coupling and the potential structural damage during the synthesis process, the preparation of MCOF nanosheets has rarely been reported.

Lithium (Li) metal has gained attention as an anode material for lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) owing to its low electrochemical potential, high specific capacity, and low density. However, the accumulation of Li dendrites and unstable solid electrolyte interphases, caused by sluggish Li migration and uneven Li deposition, limit practical LMB applications. This study presents the first report on redox-active metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) with dual-active centers as functional separators for LMBs.

Researchers have extensively investigated photosensitizer (PS) derivatives for various applications due to their superior photophysical and electrochemical properties. However, inherent problems, such as instability and self-quenching under physiological conditions, limit their biological applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent two relatively new material types.

Covalent and metal-organic frameworks (COFs and MOFs) have shown great promise in light-driven processes mainly due to their ligand-to-metal charge-separation properties, as well as having access to a diverse range of photoactive metalloligands and organic linkers. However, both frameworks present individual drawbacks that can potentially be avoided by combining both systems (metal and covalent) to produce metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs), exhibiting the advantages of both material types. Yet, due to their poor crystallinity, the understanding of the structure-properties relation of MCOFs remains unclear.
