H2 Evolution with Covalent Organic Framework Photocatalysts

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new class of crystalline organic polymers that have garnered significant recent attention as highly promising H2 evolution photocatalysts. This Perspective discusses the advances in this field of energy research while highlighting the underlying peremptory factors for the rational design of readily tunable COF photoabsorber-cocatalyst systems for optimal photocatalytic performance.
