Synthesis of stack plate covalent organic framework nanotubes using a self-assembled acid as a soft template

摘要

COF-LZU1 with nanotube-like morphology has been synthesized with high crystallinity and pore volume in the presence of trimesic acid as a template. The as-synthesized COF nanotubes consist of a stack of plates with a diameter of about 100 nm with a hollow channel inside of about 20 nm.
