Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a novel class of porous materials which are analogous to metal–organic frameworks. COFs are organic polymers with permanent porosity and well-organized structures which have been a topic of enormous research interest in the last decade. The important feature of COFs is that their structures can be predesigned, synthesis can be controlled, and functionality can be monitored. COFs are synthesized by the covalent linkage of organic molecules to form a porous material which is ideal for gas adsorption and storage. Chemists have deliberately designed and synthesized COFs for the purpose of CO2 adsorption. The fascinating and versatile properties of COFs have emerged including as a facile adsorbent for the capture of CO2. This chapter mainly deals with the recent advancements in the synthesis of various types of COFs and the strategies involved for CO2 capture.
