Two major classes of these systems are metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and
covalent organic frameworks (COFs) but a major challenge in carbon dioxide capture has been to carry it out in the presence of water; that challenge is now being met by MOFs and COFs.
One solution has been to exfoliate
covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline porous polymers.
The researchers made
covalent organic frameworks (COFs) that are stable — a major advancement.
The field of
covalent organic frameworks is only a decade old, and much needs to be learned about how the porous polymers form and how to keep them stable.
An international collaboration led by Berkeley Lab scientists has woven the first 3D
covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from helical organic threads.
