Advances of Electrochemical and Electrochemiluminescent Sensors Based on Covalent Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Highlights Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show enormous potential for building high-performance electrochemical sensors due to their high porosity, large specific surface areas, stable rigid topology, ordered structures, and tunable pore microenvironments. The basic properties, monomers, and general synthesis methods of COFs in the electroanalytical chemistry field are introduced, with special emphasis on their usages in the fabrication of chemical sensors, ions sensors, immunosensors, and aptasensors. The emerged COFs in the electrochemiluminescence realm are thoroughly covered along with their preliminary applications.
