Abstract

The exfoliated TFPB-COF demonstrates large reversible capacities of 1359 and 968 mAh g after 300 cycles.

  • A new 2D covalent organic framework (COF) named TFPB-COF is designed with six unsaturated benzene rings per repeating unit.
  • Ordered mesoporous pores of approximately 2.1 nm are present in the TFPB-COF structure.
  • A chemical stripping strategy is used to create exfoliated few-layered COF nanosheets (E-TFPB-COF), which prevents restacking through in situ formed MnO nanoparticles.
  • The exfoliated TFPB-COF features new active lithium storage sites that improve ion and electron movement.
  • The E-TFPB-COF and E-TFPB-COF/MnO electrodes show enhanced performance compared to bulk TFPB-COF, indicating potential for lithium-ion battery applications.
