This minireview discussed the recent developments in basic knowledge, structure design strategies, and applications of 1D COFs, and also provided insights into the challenges and prospects of 1D COFs for the further development of this field.
Abstract
As an important branch of the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) family, one-dimensional COFs (1D COFs), which are formed by the ordered arrangement of confined covalent bonds in one dimension and non-covalent interactions (van der Waals force, π–π interactions, and hydrogen bonds) in the vertical two and three dimensions has aroused much attention. Compared with two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) COFs, 1D COFs behaved more easily dispersing and had more opportunities for active sites exposure due to their weaker interchain/interlayer interaction, modified nonlinear edge, and pore structures. These features make them have great application potential in many fields, including catalysis, energy storage, adsorption, sensing, and others. In this minireview, we highlight the state-of-the-art advances of 1D COFs in the structure design principles of building blocks, synthesis strategies, and their related applications. Furthermore, we present an in-depth outlook on the challenges and opportunities faced by 1D COFs, aiming to offer insights for future studies in this intriguing and significant research field.
