Abstract

Fabricating ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) nanosheets (NSs) in large scale and high yield still remains a great challenge. This limits the exploration of the unique functionalities and wide range of application potentials of such materials. Herein, we develop a scalable general bottom-up approach to facilely synthesize ultrathin (100 mg) and high yield (>55%), via an imine-exchange synthesis strategy through adding large excess amounts of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde into the reaction system under solvothermal conditions. Impressively, visualization of the periodic pore lattice for COF-367 NSs by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) clearly discloses the ultrathin 2D COF…
