Abstract

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) on behalf of a novel category of porous substances that show interesting and promising properties in many applications due to their large surface areas, unique physicochemical properties, adjustable porosity, and flexible chemistry. The increasing demand for energy and the harm it does to the environment make the quest for a renewable clean energy source vital. Recently, photocatalysis—which converts solar energy to fuels like hydrogen and hydrocarbons or to degrade environmental contaminants—has emerged as a potential strategy for achieving this goal. In this work, synthesis, structure, and a list of design concepts and topologies are used to examine the opportunities and challenges for enhanced energy technologies employing COF-based materials. It is anticipated to drive the development of existing energy structures, inspire researchers from other fields, and increase the use of covalent organic structures in certain fields.
