Have Covalent Organic Framework Films Revealed Their Full Potential?

Porous organic polymers provide high accessible surface areas, which make them attractive for gas storage, separation, and catalysis. In addition to those classical usage such compounds are particularly interesting electronic applications since their dimensional, electron-rich backbone provides advanced photophysical properties. However, non-soluble nature is a challenge processability, especially in the case of film formation, hence limited utilization devices so far. Nevertheless, there several techniques presented literature overcome that issue, most were on crystalline porous polymers, namely covalent frameworks (COFs). this perspective, developments COF formation prospects improvements discussed with suggestions further performances electronics.
