Ion conduction plays key roles in electrochemical systems, including fuel cells, lithium ion batteries, and metal-air batteries. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a new class of porous polymers, constructed by pre-designable building blocks, are ideal hosts to accommodate ionic carries for conduction because of their straightforward pore channels, tunable pore size, controllable pore environment, and
