| Summary: | Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a new emerging class of highly crystalline advanced porous materials with fascinating structural tunability and diversity as well as the desired semiconductor properties, have gained significant attention as highly promising and efficient photocatalysts or designer platforms for a variety of photocatalytic applications in recent years; thus a comprehensive review is timely to summarize the advances of this field. In this review, a background and brief timeline concerning the developments and key achievements of COFs are provided. Afterwards, a systematic overview of the potential photocatalytic applications realized to date in the fast growing field of COFs is provided with the aim of presenting a full blueprint of COFs for possible photochemical energy conversion and reactions. Finally, the challenges remaining and personal perspectives on further development of this type of material for photocatalysis are presented.
In this review, a comprehensive summary of the potential photocatalytic applications realized to date in the fast-growing field of COFs is provided with the aim to present a full blueprint of COFs for photochemical energy conversion and reactions. |

| Bibliography: | Dr. Guang-Bo Wang received his Master's degree from Dalian University of Technology in 2014 and obtained his PhD degree in chemistry from Ghent University in 2018. He then moved back to China and joined Shandong Normal University the same year. His current research interests mainly focus on the task-specific design and preparation of advanced crystalline porous materials for photocatalytic applications. Yan Geng received his B.S. and M.S. in chemistry in 2002 and 2005 from Shandong Normal University under the guidance of Prof. Yu-Bin Dong. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2008 from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, CAS under the supervision of Prof. Li-Zhu Wu and Prof. Chen-Ho Tung. He then worked at Uppsala University, the University of Queensland, University of Bern and Kyushu University before joining Shandong Normal University in 2017. He is currently a professor focusing on organic materials at the College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. Prof. Yu-Bin Dong is the Chang Jiang professor of chemistry at Shandong Normal University (SDNU). He obtained his PhD from Nankai University (under Prof. Li-Cheng Song) in 1996. He then joined Prof. Andreas Mayr's group at The University of Hong Kong and Prof. Hans-Conrad zur Loye's group at the University of South Carolina from 1996 to 2000, and was promoted to full professor at SDNU in 2000. He is the author of over 200 peer-reviewed publications. His current research interests are in the fields of supramolecular and organometallic chemistry, mainly focusing on MOF and COF-based materials and their applications in catalysis, luminescence, sensing, bioimaging, and cancer treatment. Sha Li was born in Inner Mongolia, China in 1995. She received her BS degree from Inner Mongol Normal University in 2018 and she is currently a Master's candidate in the Dong group at Shandong Normal University. Her research focuses on the construction of novel covalent organic frameworks for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
