Due to their excellent stability, ease of modification, high specific surface area, and tunable redox potentials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as potential electrodes in supercapacitors (SCs) have raised much research interest because these materials can enable the achievement of high electric double-layer supercapacitance and high pseudocapacitance. Here, the design strategies and SC applications of COF-based electrode materials are summarized. The detailed principles are introduced first, followed by discussions on strategies with diverse examples. The updated advances in design and applications are also discussed. Finally, in the outlook section, we provide some guidelines on the rational design of COF-based electrode materials for high-performance SCs, which we hope will inspire novel concepts for COF-based supercapacitors.
