Abstract

Humidity is one of the most important indicators affecting human health. Here, a pair of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) of positional isomers (p-COF and o-COF) for indoor humidity regulation is reported. Although p-COF and o-COF have the same sql topology and pore size, they exhibit different water adsorption behaviors due to the subtle differences in water adsorption sites. Particularly, o-COF exhibits a steep adsorption isotherm in the range of 45-65% RH with a hysteresis loop, which is perfectly suitable for indoor humidity regulation. In the laboratory experiment, when the humidity of the external environment is 20-75% RH, o-COF can control the humidity of the room in the range of 45-60% RH. o-COF has shown great potential as a dual humidification/dehumidification adsorbent for indoor humidity regulation.
