Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous, crystalline materials composed of organic building blocks linked together by strong covalent bonds. These frameworks are highly customizable and can be designed with specific properties such as porosity, surface area, and chemical reactivity. COFs have applications in various fields, including gas storage and separation, catalysis, and drug delivery. They offer advantages over traditional porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks and zeolites, including higher stability and tunability. Research in this area focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and application of COFs for different industrial and scientific purposes.
