Description
Summary:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising strategy for developing advanced energy storage materials for lithium batteries. Currently commercialized materials used in lithium batteries, such as graphite and metal oxide-based electrodes, have shortcomings that limit their performance and reliability. For example, graphite-based electrodes have a limited energy density and capacity, while metal oxide-based electrodes suffer from poor cycling stability, low rate capability, and limited capacity retention. Alternative approaches, such as the use of COFs, are needed to develop high-performance energy storage devices that can overcome these challenges. COFs have a well-designed approach that utilizes redox entities, greener and biodegradable materials, and the ability to monitor structure–property relationships. This approach can enhance the electrochemical performance of COFs, improve cycling stability, and increase capacity. The industrialization of COF-based lithium batteries can provide high-performance energy storage devices with higher energy density, longer lifespan, and lower cost. To achieve this, the selection of raw materials based on the type of COF, implementation of scalable synthesis methods, and optimization of battery assembly processes, as well as the development of cost-effective and scalable materials for electrodes, electrolytes, and separators, and the understanding of the electrochemical behavior of COF-based materials are crucial. This contribution aims to give a general overview of the status and potential for the industrialization of COF-based lithium batteries by addressing these issues. Graphical Abstract
