Construction of functional covalent organic framework films by modulator and solvent induced polymerization.

ABSTRACT: Covalent organic frameworks are attractive candidates for the next generation films in technical applications. However, due to their crystallization nature, insolubility in common solvents as well as infusible at high temperatures make it challenging to grow them spontaneously or process them into films. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to fabricate covalent organic framework films based on a modulator-solvent induced polymerization process. The addition of modulator slows down the nucleation rate during the initial stages of covalent organic framework growth, resulting in the formation of fluidic precursors that are easy to process. Subsequently, a suitable drying process is introduced to balance the evaporation rate of solvent and the crystallization rate of modulator induced, res
