The idea of spatial confinement has gained widespread interest in myriad applications. Especially, the confined short hydrogen-bond (SHB) network could afford an attractive opportunity to enable proton transfer a nearly barrierless manner, but its practical implementation been challenging. Herein, we report SHB on surface ionic covalent organic framework (COF) membranes decorated by densely and uniformly distributed hydrophilic ligands. Combined experimental theoretical evidences have...
Ionic covalent organic framework membranes (iCOFMs) hold great promise in ion conduction-relevant applications because the high content and monodispersed ionic groups could afford superior conduction. The key to push upper limit of conductivity is maximize exchange capacity (IEC). Here, we explore iCOFMs with a superhigh 4.6 mmol g-1, using dual-activation interfacial polymerization strategy. Fukui function employed as descriptor monomer reactivity. We use Brønsted acid activate aldehyde...
Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes hold potential for widespread applicability, but scalable fabrication is challenging. Here, we demonstrate the disorder-to-order transformation from amorphous polymeric membrane to crystalline COF via monomer exchange. Solution processing used prepare and replacing selected based on chemical thermodynamical stability of final framework. Reversible imine bonds allow extraneous monomers replace pristine within membrane, driving disordered network...
Controllable ion transport through nanochannels is crucial for biological and artificial membrane systems. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with regular tunable are emerging as an ideal material platform to develop synthetic membranes transport. However, exclusion by COF remains challenging because most materials have large-sized leading nonselective of small ions. Here we ionic (iCOFMs) control charged framework nanochannels, the interior surfaces which covered arrayed sulfonate groups...
Fabrication of covalent organic framework (COF) membranes for molecular transport has excited highly pragmatic interest as a low energy and cost-effective route separations. However, currently, most COF are assembled via one-step procedure in liquid phase(s) by concurrent polymerization crystallization, which often accompanied loosely packed less ordered structure. Herein, we propose two-step phase switching strategy, decouples the process crystallization to assemble compact crystalline...
3D ionic covalent organic framework (COF) membranes, which are envisioned to be able break the trade-off between ion conductivity and selectivity, waiting for exploitation.
