Poor control on the exfoliation of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a disadvantage for their application as two‐dimensional nanosheets. An equally important problem is the reversible control at the available surface charges on COFs. Herein, a strategy for the reversible exfoliation, re‐sta...
