Abstract

Abstract Intensifying energy crises and severe environmental issues have led to the discovery of renewable energy sources, sustainable energy conversion, and storage technologies. Photocatalysis is a green technology that converts eco‐friendly solar energy into high‐energy chemicals. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous materials constructed by covalent bonds that show promising potential for converting solar energy into chemicals owing to their pre‐designable structures, high crystallinity, and porosity. Herein, we highlight recent progress in the synthesis of COF‐based photocatalysts and their applications in water splitting, CO 2 reduction, and H 2 O 2 production. The challenges and future…
