Abstract
Abstract Nowadays, Covalent‐Organic Frameworks (COFs) are deemed to be the utmost trending and leading materials worldwide, counting on their highly porous nature and phenomenal thermodynamic stability. Owing to a highly ordered organic network having diverse strong covalent linkages, these materials have elucidated their suitability in photoelectricity, drug delivery, semiconductors, gas storage and separation, emission, proton conduction, catalysis, etc . To add on the functionality, these materials are been coupled with other functional materials to amalgamate COFs composites. Such COFs composites offer countless opportunities for valuable applications. Herein, in this review we report and underpin the existing synthesis methods for COFs and their composites along with their analytical applications in various fields with special reference to separation and sensing. A conclusive discussion on their future perspectives and challenges is made to benefit the readers.
