Abstract

AbstractAs hot topics in the chemical conversion of CO2, the photo‐/electrocatalytic reduction of CO2and use of CO2as a supporter for energy storage have shown great potential for the utilization of CO2. However, many obstacles still exist on the road to realizing highly efficient chemical CO2conversion, such as inefficient uptake/activation of CO2and mass transport in catalysts. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a kind of porous material, have been widely explored as catalysts for the chemical conversion of CO2owing to their unique features. In particular, COF‐based functional materials containing diverse active sites (such as single metal sites, metal nanoparticles, and metal oxides) offer great potential for realizing CO2conversion and energy storage. This Minireview discusses recent breakthroughs in the basic knowledge, mechanisms, and pathways of chemical CO2conversion strategies that use COF‐based functional catalysts. In addition, the challenges and prospects of COF‐based functional catalysts for the efficient utilization of CO2are also introduced.
