Abstract

By sacrificing a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as a template, hollow tubular TpBD (H-TpBD) covalent organic framework (COF) tubes were synthesized in situ and zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanoparticles were creatively synthesized in situ in H-TpBD tubes at room temperature. H-TpBD COF tubes and ZIF-8/H-TpBD COF tubes were procured by using a strong base or acid to remove the AAO membrane. Then they were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, etc. Surprisingly, the obtained TpBD COF has a very small aperture (1.8 nm), thinner tube thickness (50 nm), high stability, and a smooth and homogeneous surface. And the pod-like ZIF-8/H-TpBD COF with complete tubular structure was also obtained.
