Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) stand for a class of emerging crystalline porous organic materials, which are ingeniously constructed with organic units through strong covalent bonds. Their excellent design capabilities, and uniform and tunable pore structure make them potential materials for various applications. With the continuous development of synthesis technique and nanoscience, COFs have been successfully combined with a variety of functional materials to form COFs‐based composites with superior performance than individual components. This paper offers an overview of the development of different types of COFs‐based composites reported so far, with particular focus on the applications of COFs‐based composites. Moreover, the challenges and future development prospects of COFs‐based composites are presented. We anticipate that the review will provide some inspiration for the further development of COFs‐based composites.
