Highlights A fluorinated zincophilic covalent organic framework (COF-S-F) with sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) is prepared on the surface of Zn anode, which promotes the desolvation of hydrated Zn ions and inhibits the side reactions. The highly electronegative -F group in COF-S-F promotes fast and uniform transport of Zn ions along the interconnected channels, which contributes to the uniform electrodeposition process of Zn metal. Zn@COF-S-F symmetric cell achieves a superior stability of 1,000 h and Zn@COF-S-F|MnO2 cell delivers high specific capacity of 206.8 mAh g−1 at current density of 1.2 A g−1.
