MXene–COF offer a pathway to overcome the fundamental trade-offs that limit existing active materials, where electronic conductivity, charge-storage capacity, and ion-transport efficiency are often mutually constrained. By integrating the metallic conductivity of MXenes with the ordered porosity and tunable chemistry of covalent organic frameworks, these hybrids enable synergistic charge and mass transport for next-generation catalysis and energy-storage systems.

MXene–MOF hybrid architectures integrate metallic charge transport with framework-engineered ion pathways, overcoming the intrinsic limitations of conventional electrochemical materials. This synergy enables high-rate, high-capacity, and durable electrochemical devices for energy storage, catalysis, and sensing.

Sulfurized covalent organic frameworks provide ordered, porous hosts that confine sulfur and guide efficient lithium-ion transport in lithium–sulfur batteries. This framework-level control suppresses polysulfide shuttling and stabilizes redox reactions, enabling high-energy, fast-charging, and long-life batteries for next-generation energy storage.

Covalent organic frameworks enable precise control over pore chemistry and size, delivering highly selective gas uptake and efficient ion transport. This structural tunability positions COFs as powerful materials for next-generation gas separation and high-performance supercapacitors.

Covalent triazine frameworks provide nitrogen-rich, structurally robust hosts that regulate metal-ion transport and interfacial reactions in aqueous batteries. This framework-engineered control enables safe, high-rate, and long-life aqueous metal and metal-ion energy-storage systems.

Metal–organic frameworks offer tunable, porous, and mechanically compliant platforms that regulate charge transport and interfacial processes in flexible electronics. This MOF-driven materials discovery enables bendable, lightweight, and high-performance electronic systems for next-generation wearables, sensors, and energy devices.
