[0002] With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, various pollutants such as heavy metal ions are discharged and exist in various environmental media, which has brought great threat to the ecological environment and human health. At present, the removal methods of pollutants such as heavy metals mainly include electrochemical method, membrane separation method, biological remediation method and adsorption method. Compared with other methods, the adsorption method has the characteristics of low cost and good selectivity, and has attracted widespread attention. However, the common adsorbents such as activated carbon usually have the problem of limited adsorption capacity, therefore, the preparation of new adsorbents with large specific surface area and high adsorption capacity has always been a great challenge.

[0003] Covalent organic framework materials as a new star material are widely used in fuel cells, gas storage, sensors, adsorbents and biological medicines due to their large specific surface area, easy functionalization design and good chemical stability. In recent years, covalent organic framework materials containing thiol functional groups have shown great application value in removing heavy metal ions due to their special structure. Mondal et al. (Mondal, Sujan, et al. ACS Sustainable Chemistry&Engineering 2019, 7(7): 7353-7361.) reported a new thioether functionalized covalent triazine nanosphere SCTN-1, which was used as a high-efficiency adsorbent for removing heavy metal Hg 2+ from contaminated water, and the maximum adsorption capacity could reach 1253mg / g, which was superior to several recently reported thiol and thioether functionalized adsorbents.

[0004] At present, the common covalent organic framework materials are usually synthesized by high-temperature method, which has relatively harsh conditions. At the same time, the morphology of the material is rarely controlled, and the morphology is an important factor affecting the adsorption performance. SUMMARY
