Abstract
Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) have shown wide applications in the fields of separation, catalysis, energy storage, and beyond. However, it is a long-term challenging subject to fabricate high-quality CTF materials via facile procedures. Herein, a mechanochemistry-driven procedure was developed to achieve phase transformation of crystalline CTFs assisted by alkaline molten salts. The transformation of CTF-1 from staggered AB to eclipsed AA stacking mode was achieved by short time (30 min) mechanochemical treatment in the presence of molten salts composed of LiOH/KOH, generating high-quality CTF-1 material with high crystallinity, high surface area (625 m2 g−1), and permanent/ordered porosity without carbonization under ambient conditions. This facile procedure could be extended to provide nanoporous three-dimensional CTF materials.
