ChemSusChem. 2017 May 22;10(10):2116-2129. doi: 10.1002/cssc.201700120. Epub 2017 Apr 20.

Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an exciting class of porous materials that have been explored as energy-storage materials for more than a decade. This review discusses efforts to develop these materials for applications in gas and electrical power storage. Some of the design strategies for developing the gas sorption properties of COFs and mechanistic studies on their formation are also discussed.

Keywords: covalent organic frameworks; electrochemistry; energy storage; mesoporous materials; polymers.
