Abstract
characterization technologies for exploring the COF growth mechanism. Then, we present representative room-temperature synthesis methods for COFs, including solid-liquid interfacial synthesis, liquid-liquid interfacial synthesis, on-water surface synthesis, water-phase synthesis, electrosynthesis, sonochemical synthesis, single-solution phase synthesis, mechanochemical synthesis, high-energy ionizing radiation synthesis, and photochemical synthesis. Finally, perspectives on room-temperature synthesis are proposed in the areas of single-crystal domains, novel room-temperature reaction types, crystallization mechanism, the design of chemical structures and green synthesis.
