Application of COF Materials in Carbon Dioxide Electrocatalytic Reduction

Abstract COFs have become the most attractive frontier research area in heterogeneous catalysis. Since the geometry and electronic structure of COFs are largely determined by their microenvironment, which in turn determines the performance in electrocatalytic processes, the precise integration of atoms of COF building blocks to achieve pre‐designed composition, components and functions is the core. This paper focuses on the structural design, synthesis, electrocatalytic mechanism and application of COFs in electrocatalytic CO 2 RR (types of COFs in electrocatalytic CO 2 RR, performance evaluation indicators of COFs in electrocatalytic CO 2 RR, and the relationship between the structure of COFs and electrocatalytic performance). In addition, we also explore the challenges faced by COFs in CO 2 RR and the corresponding solution strategies. Finally, by highlighting the prospects and challenges of COFs structural regulation, we hope to provide inspiration for the further development of COFs in electrocatalytic applications.
