PG - 140655 LID - S0045-6535(23)02925-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140655 [doi] AB - Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising class of crystalline porous materials with customizable structures, high surface areas, and tunable functionalities. Their unique properties make them attractive candidates for addressing environmental contamination caused by pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and endocrine disruptors (EDCs). This review article provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and applications of COFs in removing and remedying various environmental contaminants. We delve into the synthesis, properties, and performance of COFs and their potential limitations and future prospects. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
