Topic: Covalent Organic Frameworks for Energy Transfer and Storage Technologies

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an attractive class of crystalline porous materials distinguished by their precise molecular design, porosity, and crystallinity. Owing to these features, COFs have attracted increasing attention as transformative materials for advanced energy technologies. Their ability to manage photons, electrons, and chemical fuels positions them at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions.

This Special Issue, entitled "Covalent Organic Frameworks for Energy Transfer and Storage Technologies," seeks the latest research on leveraging COFs for efficient energy systems. Contributions that address both fundamental principles and practical implementations are especially encouraged.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

● Design and Synthesis: Novel linkages and architectures;

● Energy Conversion: Photocatalysis (water splitting, CO₂ reduction), electrocatalysis, and photovoltaics;

● Energy Storage: Electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors; solid-state gas storage;

● Fundamental Studies: Charge/ion transport mechanisms and host-guest interactions;

● Theory and Computation: Predictive modeling of properties;

● Device Integration: Focus on stability, scalability, and performance.

The objective of this Special Issue is to showcase cutting-edge work that bridges fundamental chemistry with applied technology, accelerating the development of high-performance, COF-based energy devices.
