Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are a class of crystalline materials formed from molecular building blocks that offer remarkable control over their structures and optoelectronic properties. This flexibility allows researchers to design frameworks with tailored functionalities for applications like photovoltaics, chemical sensing, and photocatalysis. By understanding the interplay between molecular building blocks, linkages, and framework topology, scientists can fine-tune electronic properties such as photon absorption, exciton generation, and charge mobility. Recent advances include the use of COFs in creating highly efficient energy and sensing devices, with ongoing research focused on optimizing their dynamic behavior, defect control, and synthesis methods. These innovations position COFs as a promising platform for sustainable and high-performance material applications in emerging technologies.
