Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an exciting family of functional porous materials. They feature uniform yet tunable porosity, rich chemical composition and potentially high stability suitable for various applications. However, the growth mechanism of COFs remain unclear, and their structural dynamics are less explored than other porous materials. In this talk, I will introduce our group’srecent progress in studying the growth mechanism and structural dynamics of several COFs. The results provide new approaches for design, synthesis, and applications of new functional COF materials and devices.
