Covalent Triazine Framework Nanosheets for Efficient Energy Storage and Conversion

Two-dimensional crystalline covalent triazine frameworks(CTFs) have received much attention because of their unique triazine structure, which endows CTFs with high thermal and chemical stability, high proportion of nitrogen and permanent porosity. Based on this unique structure characteristic, CTFs have shown great potential in energy storage and conversion due to the intrinsically strong conjugated structure, delocalized electron and rich active sites. However, charge carrier(electron, hole or ion) transport can't reach the deep active sites and charge diffusion was impeded by defects in bulk CTFs. Hence, to break through this barrier, increasing attention has been paid to get few layered CTFs or CTFs nanosheets in order to shorten the pathways of charge diffusion and expose more active sites. This review summarizes the synthetic methodologies of CTFs nanosheets and the potential application in photocatalytic and electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
