ABSTRACT

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), featuring structural diversity, permanent porosity, and functional versatility, have emerged as promising electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. To date, amorphous polymer, COF, or their composites are mostly explored in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), while their research in other alkali metal ion batteries is still in infancy. This can be due to the challenges that arise from large volume changes, slow diffusion kinetics, and inefficient active site utilization by the large Na+ or K+ ion. Herein, microwave-assisted imide-based 2D COF, TAPB-NDA covalently connected with amine-functionalized carbon nanotubes (TAPB-NDA@CNT) targeting the application in both Li-/Na-ion batteries, is synthesized. As-synthesized, TAPB-NDA@CNT50 displays the good performance as LIB cathode with a specific capacity of ≈138 mAh g-1 at 25 mA g-1, long cycling stability (81.2% retention after 2000 cycles at 300 mA g-1), with excellent reversible capacity retention of ≈79.6%. Similarly, TAPB-NDA@CNT50, when employed in sodium-ion battery (SIB), exhibited 136.7 mAh g-1 specific capacity at 25 mA g-1, retained ≈80% of the reversible capacity after 1000 cycles at 300 mA g-1 and showing excellent rate performance. The structural advantage of TAPB-NDA@CNT will encourage researchers to design COF-based cathodes for the alkali ion batteries.

ABSTRACT

In this study, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were grown in situ on magnetic nitrogen-doped graphene foam (MNGF), and the resulting composite of COFs-modified MNGF (MNC) was wrapped by molecularly imprinted polymers (MNC@MIPs) for specifically capturing SAs. A magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) method for SAs was established using MNC@MIPs with good magnetic responsiveness. The adsorption performance of MNC@MIPs was superior to that of non-molecularly imprinted polymers (MNC@NIPs), with shorter adsorption/desorption time and higher imprinting factors. A high-efficiency SAs analytical method was developed by fusing HPLC and MNC@MIPs-based MSPE. This approach provides excellent precision, a low detection limit, and wide linearity. By analyzing fish samples, the feasibility of the approach was confirmed, with SAs recoveries and relative standard deviations in spiked samples in the ranges of 77.2-112.7 % and 2.0-7.2 %, respectively. This study demonstrated the potential use of MNC@MIPs-based MSPE for efficient extraction and quantitation of trace hazards in food.

ABSTRACT

Sunitinib, N-desmethyl imatinib, dasatinib, imatinib, and bosutinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that are commonly employed in the treatment of a multitude of cancers. However, the inappropriate concentrations of TKIs can result in ineffective treatment or the emergence of multiple adverse effects. Consequently, the development of a rapid and sensitive analytical method for TKIs is of paramount importance for the safe administration of drugs. In this work, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) probe combined with an electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) coupling platform was constructed for rapid and sensitive determination of TKIs. The covalent organic frameworks (COFs) coated SPME probe was made of 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TAPT) and 2,5-dibutoxyterephthalaldehyde (DBTA) by in-situ layer-by-layer chemical bonding synthesis strategy. The TAPT-DBTA-SPME probe exhibited several advantageous properties which rendered it suitable for the enrichment of TKIs. Under the optimal conditions, the developed analytical method demonstrated a broad linear range (0.05-500.00 µg/L), a low limit of detection (0.02 µg/L) and a high enrichment factor (51-203) for TKIs. The developed analytical method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of TKIs in mouse plasma and tissue matrix, demonstrating that the proposed analytical method has promise for clinical applications and metabolic monitoring.

ABSTRACT

Imine-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are garnering substantial interest in resistive random-access memory, attributed to their superior crystallinity, excellent chemical and thermal stability, and modifiable molecular structures. However, the development of high-performance COF-based memristors impeded by challenges such as low conjugation degree of imine bonds and poor electron delocalization ability. Herein, we report a protonation strategy to modify the imine bonds of donor-acceptor (D-A) type COFs. This modification significantly enhances the electron delocalization capability of imine bonds, lowers the energy barriers for electron injection from electrodes, and stabilizes the conductive charge transfer state, thus markedly improving device performance. The protonated COF-BTT-BPy and COF-BTT-TAPT thin films-based memristors show remarkable device performance with a high ON/OFF current ratio of 105, a low driving voltage, and outstanding endurance exceeding 600 and 1300 cycles, respectively, which is nearly twice the durability of analogous non-protonated COFs-based memristors. Notably, the protonated COF-BTT-TAPT-based memristor exhibit the highest number of cycles reported at present. This work not only unprecedentedly enhances the performance of COF-based memristors, but also provides a universal and promising approach for the molecular design and potential application of D-A type imine-linked COFs.

ABSTRACT

Aza-fused aromatic π-conjugated networks are an important class of 2D graphitic analogs, which are generally constructed using aromatic precursors. Herein, the study describes a new synthetic approach and electrochemical properties of a self-exfoliating benzotristriazine 2D network (BTTN) constructed using aliphatic precursors, under relatively mild conditions. The obtained BTTN exhibits a nanodisc-like morphology, the self-exfoliation tendency of which is ascribed to the presence of structurally different macrocycles with high electronic repulsion between the layers. The benzotristriazine repeat units of BTTN is electroactive and holds higher carbon/nitrogen ratio when compared with the conventional graphitic aza-fused π-conjugated networks. The self-exfoliated BTTN nanodiscs show excellent electrochemical energy storage of 485 and 333 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 in three-electrode and two-electrode measurements, respectively. BTTN in a symmetric coin-cell architecture exhibits a high specific energy value of 46 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 1 kW kg-1 and shows excellent cyclic stability of 96% for 10 000 and 90% for 30 000 charge-discharge cycles at a higher current density of 5 A g-1, surpassing the device performance of most of the reported all-organic pseudocapacitive 2D networks.

ABSTRACT

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer remarkable versatility, combining ordered structures, high porosity, and tailorable functionalities in nanoscale reaction spaces. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of isostructural, photoactive Wurster-type COFs achieved by manipulating the chemical and electronic nature of the Wurster aromatic amine building blocks. A series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) Wurster building block molecules was synthesized by incorporating heteroaromatic acceptors with varying strengths between triphenylamine donor groups. These tailored building blocks were integrated into a 2D COF scaffold, resulting in highly crystalline structures and similar morphologies across all COFs. Remarkably, this structural uniformity was also achieved in the synthesis of homogeneous and oriented thin films. Steady-state photoluminescence revealed a tunable red-shift in film emission exceeding 100 nm, demonstrating effective manipulation of their optical properties. Furthermore, photoelectrochemical studies exhibited a doubled current density (8.1 µA cm-2 at 0.2 VRHE) for the COF with the strongest acceptor unit. These findings highlight the potential of these D-A-D COFs in photoelectrochemical water splitting devices and pave the way for further exploration of structure-property relationships in this promising class of photoactive materials.

ABSTRACT

Accurate and sensitive detection of amyloid-ß 42 oligomer (Aß42O) is of great significance for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, a signal on-off ratiometric electrochemical immunosensor was developed for highly selective and quantitative determination of Aß42O by using novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) composites as the sensing platform. This immunosensor produced two independent electrochemical signals from the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and methylene blue (MB) probes at different potentials based on the electrocatalytic activity of gold nanoparticle-functionalized porphyrinyl COFs nanocomposites toward [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and the signal probe of MB encapsulated in the aptamer-modified alkynyl COFs. Because the two signals of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and MB changed in opposite directions, a signal on-off mode was generated which can correct the results by introducing a reference signal and effectively eliminate background interference. Under optimal experimental conditions, the current ratio (IMB/I[Fe(CN)6]3-/4-) was well linearly related to the logarithmic value of Aß42O concentrations in the range of 10 pM to 1 µM, and the detection limit was 5.1 pM (S/N = 3). Additionally, the immunosensor exhibited satisfactory performance in case of real cerebrospinal fluid samples. The designed ratiometric electrochemical immunosensor provides a valuable route for early diagnosis of AD and our results also pave the way for designing of sensing platforms using COF-based nanomaterials and extending their functions and applications to bioanalysis.

ABSTRACT

Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are ideal electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices due to their unique structures and properties, and the accessibility and utilization efficiency of the redox-active sites within COFs are critical determinants of their pseudocapacitive performance. Via introducing meticulously designed phenolic hydroxyl (Ar-OH) groups with hydrogen-bond forming ability onto the imine COF skeletons, DHBD-Sb-COF exhibited improved hydrophilicity and crystallinity than the parent BD-Sb-COF, the redox-active sites (SbPh3 moieties) in COF electrodes could thus be highly accessed by aqueous electrolyte with a high active-site utilization of 93%. DHBD-Sb-COF//AC provided an excellent supercapacitive performance with an energy density of 78 Wh Kg-1 at the power density of 2553 W Kg-1 and super cycling stability, exceeding most of the previously reported pristine COF electrode-based supercapacitors. The "two-in-one" strategy of introducing hydroxyl groups onto imine COF skeletons to enhance both hydrophilicity and crystallinity provides a new avenue to improve the electrochemical performance of COF-based electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been demonstrated as promising photocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. However, the construction of COFs with new active sites, high photoactivity, and wide-range light absorption for efficient H2O2 production remains challenging. Herein, we present the synthesis of a novel azobenzene-bridged 2D COF (COF-TPT-Azo) with excellent performance on photocatalytic H2O2 production under alkaline conditions. Notably, although COF-TPT-Azo differs by only one atom (-N=N- vs. -C=N-) from its corresponding imine-linked counterpart (COF-TPT-TPA), the COF-TPT-Azo exhibits a significantly narrower band gap, enhanced charge transport, and prompted photoactivity. Remarkably, when employed as a metal-free photocatalyst, COF-TPT-Azo achieves a high photocatalytic H2O2 production rate up to 1498 µmol g-1 h-1 at pH =11, which is 7.9 times higher than that of COF-TPT-TPA. Further density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the -N=N- linkages are the active sites for photocatalysis. This work provides new prospects for developing high-performance COF-based photocatalysts.

ABSTRACT

The oxidative cleavage of alkenes is a crucial step in synthesizing key organic molecules featuring carbonyl functional groups prevalent in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We introduce a photochemical method for heterogeneous C=C bond cleavage, employing photo-catalytically generated [(bTAML)FeIV-O-FeIV(bTAML)]- species (where bTAML stands for biuret-modified tetraamido macrocyclic ligand) in aqueous environments under gentle conditions. Leveraging the photosensitizing properties of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and their advantageous morphological traits as films, we enhance the reaction by closely associating the substrate with the catalyst. This study marks the inaugural demonstration of Fe2IV-µ-oxo radical cation and FeIV=O species facilitating alkene cleavage in water against a backdrop of a hydrophobic COF. Through comprehensive mechanistic studies, including control experiments, we confirm that these two high-valent iron oxo species collaborate to cleave alkenes, forming an intermediate epoxide. Our approach yields moderate to high success across various alkenes, displaying diverse functional groups (achieving up to 75% yield) with notable efficiency and selectivity towards aldehyde/ketone products. Moreover, the heterogeneous COF film, immobilizing (Et4N)2[FeIII(Cl)bTAML], exhibits exceptional recyclability, enduring up to four cycles.

ABSTRACT

The design and synthesis of chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with controlled defect sites are highly desirable but still remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report the synthesis of a defective chiral HD-TAPB-DMTP COF by modifying the chiral monomer helicid (HD) into the framework of an achiral imine-linked TAPB-DMTP COF using a chiral monomer exchange strategy. Upon the introduction of the chiral HD unit, the obtained defective chiral HD-TAPB-DMTP COF not only displays excellent crystallinity, large specific surface area (up to 2338 m2/g) and rich accessible chiral functional sites but also exhibits fluorescence emission, rendering it a good candidate for discrimination of amino acids. Notably, the resultant defective chiral HD-TAPB-DMTP COF can be used as a fluorescent sensor for enantioselective recognition of both tyrosine and phenylalanine enantiomers in water, showing enhanced fluorescent responses for the L conformations over those of the D conformations with enantioselectivity factors being 1.84 and 2.02, respectively. Moreover, molecular docking simulations uncover that stronger binding affinities between chiral HD-TAPB-DMTP COF and L-tyrosine/L-phenylalanine in comparison to those with D-tyrosine/D-phenylalanine play important roles in enantioselective determination. This work provides new insights into the design and construction of highly porous defective chiral COFs for enantioselective fluorescence recognition of amino acids.

In recent years, COFs have attracted considerable attention in electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Specifically, COF-based functional separators are ideal candidates for addressing the ionic transport-related issues in high-energy batteries, such as dendritic formation and shuttle effect. Therefore, it is necessary to make a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of COFs in functional separators. In this review, the advantages, applications as well as synthesis of COFs are firstly presented. Then, the mechanism of COFs in functional separators for high-energy batteries is summarized in detail, including pore channels regulating ionic transport, functional groups regulating ionic transport, adsorption effect, and catalytic effect. Finally, the application prospect of COFs-based separators in high-energy batteries is proposed. This review may provide new insights into the design of functional separators for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems.

ABSTRACT

Chemotherapy as a common anticancer therapeutic modality is often challenged by various obstacles such as poor stability, low solubility, and severe side effects of chemotherapeutic agents as well as multidrug resistance of cancerous cells. Nanoparticles in the role of carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs and platforms for combining different therapeutic approaches have effectively participated in overcoming such drawbacks. In particular, nanoparticles able to induce their therapeutic effect in response to specific stimuli like tumor microenvironment characteristics (e.g., hypoxia, acidic pH, high levels of glutathione, and overexpressed hydrogen peroxide) or extrinsic stimulus of laser light bring about more precise and selective treatments. Among them, nanostructures of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have drawn great interest in biomedical fields during recent years. Possessing large surface area, high porosity, structural stability, and customizable architecture, these biocompatible porous crystalline polymers properly translate to promising platforms for drug delivery and induction of combination therapies. With the focus on stimuli-responsive characteristics of nanoscale COFs, this study aims to propose an overview of their potentiality in cancer treatment on the basis of chemotherapy alone or in combination with sonodynamic, chemodynamic, photodynamic, and photothermal therapies.

ABSTRACT

Trap-assisted non-radiative recombination losses and moisture-induced degradation significantly impede the development of highly efficient and stable inverted (p-i-n) perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which require high-quality perovskite bulk. In this research, we mitigate these challenges by integrating thermally stable perovskite layers with Lewis base covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The ordered pore structure and surface binding groups of COFs facilitate cyclic, multi-site chelation with undercoordinated lead ions, enhancing the perovskite quality across both its bulk and grain boundaries. This process not only reduces defects but also promotes improved energy alignment through n-type doping at the surface. The inclusion of COF dopants in p-i-n devices achieves power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 25.64% (certified 24.94%) for a 0.0748-cm2 device and 23.49% for a 1-cm2 device. Remarkably, these devices retain 81% of their initial PCE after 978 hours of accelerated aging at 85˚C, demonstrating remarkable durability. Additionally, COF-doped devices demonstrate excellent stability under illumination and in moist conditions, even without encapsulation.

ABSTRACT

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline networks with extended backbones cross-linked by covalent bonds. Due to the semiconductive properties and variable metal coordinating sites, along with the rapid development in linkage chemistry, the utilization of COFs in photocatalytic CO2RR has attracted many scientists' interests. In this Review, we summarize the latest research progress on variable COFs for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In the first part, we present the development of COF linkages that have been used in CO2RR, and we discuss four mechanisms including COFs as intrinsic photocatalysts, COFs with photosensitive motifs as photocatalysts, metalated COF photocatalysts, and COFs with semiconductors as heterojunction photocatalysts. Then, we summarize the principles of structural designs including functional building units and stacking mode exchange. Finally, the outlook and challenges have been provided. This Review is intended to give some guidance on the design and synthesis of diverse COFs with different linkages, various structures, and divergent stacking modes for the efficient photoreduction of CO2.

ABSTRACT

Photocatalytic H2O2 production is a green and sustainable route, but far from meeting the increasing demands of industrialization due to the rapid recombination of the photogenerated charge carriers and the sluggish reaction kinetics. Effective strategies for precisely regulating the photogenerated carrier behavior and catalytic activity to construct high-performance photocatalysts are urgently needed. Herein, a nitrogen-site engineering strategy, implying elaborately tuning the species and densities of nitrogen atoms, is applied for H2O2 photogeneration performance regulation. Different nitrogen heterocycles, such as pyridine, pyrimidine, and triazine units, are polymerized with trithiophene units, and five covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with distinct nitrogen species and densities on the skeletons are obtained. Fascinatingly, they photocatalyzed H2O2 production via dominated two-electron O2 reduction processes, including O2-O2 •‒-H2O2 and O2-O2 •‒-O2 1-H2O2 dual pathways. Just in the air and pure water, the multicomponent TTA-TF-COF with the maximum nitrogen densities triazine nitrogen densities exhibited the highest H2O2 production rate of 3343 µmol g-1 h-1, higher than most of other reported COFs. The theoretical calculation revealed the higher activity is due to the easy formation of O2 •‒ and O2 1 in different catalytic process. This study gives a new insight into designing photocatalysis at atomic level.

ABSTRACT

2D conjugated covalent organic frameworks (c-COFs) provide an attractive foundation as organic electrodes in energy storage devices, but their storage capability is long hindered by limited ion accessibility within densely π-π stacked interlayers. Herein, two kinds of 2D c-COFs based on dioxin and dithiine linkages are reported, which exhibit distinct in-plane configurations-fully planar and undulated layers. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals wavy square-planar networks in dithiine-bridged COF (COF-S), attributed to curved C─S─C bonds in the dithiine linkage, whereas dioxin-bridged COF (COF-O) features densely packed fully planar layers. Theoretical and experimental results elucidate that the undulated stacking within COF-S possesses an expanded layer distance of 3.8 Å and facilitates effective and rapid Li+ storage, yielding a superior specific capacity of 1305 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, surpassing that of COF-O (1180 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1). COF-S also demonstrates an admirable cycle life with 80.4% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. As determined, self-expanded wavy-stacking geometry, S-enriched dithiine in COF-S enhances the accessibility and redox activity of Li storage, allowing each phthalocyanine core to store 12 Li+ compared to 8 Li+ in COF-O. These findings underscore the elements and stacking modes of 2D c-COFs, enabling tunable layer distance and modulation of accessible ions.

ABSTRACT

The design of three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) using linear and trigonal linkers remains challenging due to the difficulty in achieving a specific non-planar spatial arrangement with low-connectivity building units. Here, we report the novel 3D COFs with linear and trigonal linkers, termed TMB-COFs, exhibiting srs topology. The steric hindrance provides an additional force to alter the torsion angles of peripheral triangular units, guiding the linear unit to connect with the trigonal unit into 3D srs frameworks, rather than the more commonly observed two-dimensional (2D) hcb structures. Furthermore, we comprehensively examined the hydrogen peroxide photocatalytic production capacity of the TMB-COFs in comparison with analogous 2D COFs. The experimental results and DFT calculations demonstrate a significant enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production efficacy through framework regulation. This work emphasizes the steric configuration using low connectivity building units, offering a fresh perspective on the design and application of 3D COFs.

ABSTRACT

While covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been extensively investigated in the field of organic electrolyte materials, there is potential for further enhancement of their room-temperature ionic conductivity. This study introduces a novel methodology to induce self-exfoliation in the parent COF during synthesis through a postmodification technique. This process yields covalent organic nanosheets that feature pyridinium sulfobetaine groups, referred to as PS-CON. Due to the strategic arrangement of pyridinium cations and sulfobetaine anions, the charge distribution in PS-CON varies substantially, leading to a significant enhancement in lithium-ion dissociation. The methodically organized one-dimensional pore channels, along with the linear structure of the pyridinium sulfobetaine groups, facilitate the lithium-ion transport. PS-CON demonstrated a remarkable ionic conductivity of 2.19 × 10-4 S cm-1and a low activation energy (0.26 eV) coupled with a broad electrochemical stabilization window (4.05 V). Furthermore, the symmetrical cell (Li|Li@PS-CON|Li) demonstrates stable Li plating/stripping for more than 1200 h, which highlights the vast potential of pyridinium-sulfobetaine based zwitterionic nanosheets as high-performance organic electrolytes.

ABSTRACT

A large-sized single crystalline 2D COFs with excellent crystallinity and stability was prepared through the traditional thermal solvent method. The electrochemical performance can be significantly enhanced using a straightforward hybrid approach that involves in-situ growth of the 2D COFs on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Both the advantages of COFs and CNTs are mutually enhanced. The single-crystalline feature of the obtained COFs improves the structural integrity and brings excellent chemical and electrochemical stabilities for lithium-ion battery applications. The resultant COF-CNT core-shell hybrids greatly improved the conductivity and demonstrated excellent lithium-ion storage performance with a high capacity of 228 mAh g-1 (0.2 A g-1).
