Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials for photo- and electrocatalytic applications, offering potential solutions to critical challenges in sustainable energy production and environmental remediation. Their well-defined porosity, tunable architectures, and modular functionalities allow for precise control over chemical and electronic properties, making them ideal candidates for energy conversion and chemical synthesis technologies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the structural and interfacial modulation of COFs to enhance their photo- and electrocatalytic performance. Key modulation strategies, including topological tuning, incorporation of light-responsive and electroactive components, donor-acceptor configurations, and heteroatomic doping, are discussed in detail. The effects of these strategies on light harvesting, charge transfer efficiency, and catalytic site accessibility are highlighted. Finally, the review outlines future directions for further optimization of COF-based catalysts to facilitate their practical deployment in renewable energy applications and sustainable chemical processes.
