Covalent Organic Frameworks: From Fundamentals to Applications presents the latest developments regarding covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their current applications in industry, research, and academia. COFs are an exciting emerging field of research that show great potential for mitigating the need to rely on fossil fuels for energy conversion and storage, and they also display remarkable properties in relation to environmental remediation and sensing. The book covers the synthesis, characterization, synthetic mechanisms, and applications of COFs using advanced nanoscale materials, with a focus on industrial uses. It also considers commercialization and economic challenges, which are also of major significance. This book will be of interest to materials scientists and engineers in both R&D and academia working with COF-derived materials for energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, and sensing applications.
- Serves as a valuable source for new learners about the basics of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) especially focused on smart organic advanced materials
- Covers almost every important application of COFs
- Presents a range of cutting-edge applications to help alleviate our reliance on fossil fuels
