Abstract

Establishes a unified framework linking the origins, descriptors, and catalytic functions of polarisation in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Systematically categorises polarisation engineering strategies in COFs and correlates them with excitonic, electronic, and interfacial descriptors. Demonstrates how programmable internal electrostatics enable selective and efficient photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reactions.
