Recent progress of covalent organic frameworks membranes: Design, synthesis, and application in water treatment

growth, interfacial polymerization, and electrochemical synthesis, and briefly describes the advanced characterization techniques for COMs. Moreover, the application of COMs in heavy metal removal, dye separation, purification of radionuclides, pollutant detection, sea water desalination, and so on, is described and discussed. Finally, the perspectives on future opportunities for designing COMs in water purification have been proposed.
