Abstract

With the continuous improvement of environmental monitoring requirements， the application of new materials has attracted much attention. Covalent organic framework （COF） materials have a series of remarkable advantages， such as structural design， large specific surface area， high porosity and good chemical stability， and show great potential in the key field of environmental monitoring. This paper focuses on the analysis and application of COF materials in the field of environmental monitoring. The unique advantages of COF in the treatment and detection of heavy metal ions， organic pollutants and gas pollutants are described in detail， and the application examples and effects of COF combined with modern analysis and detection techniques and tools are analyzed. It can make full use of its structural characteristics to achieve high efficiency enrichment or adsorption of target pollutants in complex environmental samples， so as to simplify the accurate detection process of modern analytical instruments such as high performance liquid chromatography， gas chromatography， mass spectrometry， and improve the detection sensitivity and reduce the detection limit. In addition， the application examples and effectiveness of these analytical tools， such as electrochemical sensors， fluorescence sensors， indicator enhanced Raman spectroscopy， colorimetry and gas sensors， in the detection of common environmental pollutants are also discussed. At the same time， some limitations of COF materials in practical applications are also clearly pointed out. Finally， the future development direction and prospect are prospected， and some thoughts and suggestions are provided for its further development in the field of environmental detection.
