The covalent organic framework, phen‐TPA, is designed for efficient iodine removal from aqueous solutions, featuring optimized iodine‐binding N‐sites. It shows the fastest iodine removal kinetics for I2 and the highest capacity for I3−. Large‐scale flow‐through tests demonstrate its effective separation of I2 and I3− in high‐salinity environments ...
