ABSTRACT Nitrogen plays a vital role in both biological systems and industrial processes, particularly in the synthesis of essential biomolecules and fertilizers. while anthropogenic activities have severely perturbed the nitrogen cycle, resulting in nitrate pollution and eutrophication. However, conventional nitrogen conversion technologies, exemplified by the Haber‐Bosch process, are highly energy‐intensive and environmentally detrimental. In this context, solar‐driven photocatalysis and electrocatalysis have emerged as sustainable strategies for nitrogen conversion under mild conditions. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), featuring ordered porous structures, tunable pore environments, and tailorable electronic properties, are increasingly recognized as promising platforms for nitrogen reduction reactions (NRR), nitrate reduction reactions (NO 3 RR), and C–N coupling reactions. This review summarizes recent progress in COFs‐based photo‐ and electrocatalytic nitrogen conversion, highlighting structure‐function relationships, current challenges, and future opportunities for the rational design of efficient COFs catalysts toward sustainable nitrogen transformations.
