Abstract
The application of lithium metal anodes (LMAs) in batteries promises high energy density but faces challenges due to uncontrollable Li dendrite formation and instability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The architectural features and diversity of fabrication methods of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), such as well-ordered pores, functionalities tunability, and remarkable stability, endow COF-based interfacial layers with homogenizing ion flux and accelerating ion transport, have demonstrated to be a straightforward and efficient way to tackle LMA problems. This review thoroughly reviews the general structure and linking modes of COFs, the Li+ interfacial chemistry and associated characteristics as well as the prominent progress occurring from 2019 to 2024. Meanwhile, this review attempts to propose some tactics anticipated in the future development of COFs for LMA applications in terms of large-scale manufacturing, improvement of battery performance, and exploration of the mechanism. It is widely believed that optimizing the synergistic effects between the building blocks of COFs will offer valuable insights and guidance for both researchers and practitioners working in this area.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
