Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 4, 2025

Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising for photocatalytic H₂O₂ generation. However, imine‐linked COFs often suffer from poor charge separation and low performance. Therefore, constructing sp 2 carbon‐linked with extended π‐conjugation is very significant in boosting the properties, but their synthesis challenging due to reversibility of C═C bond. Here, two vinylene‐linked COFs: BBT‐ACN COF‐1 COF‐2 designed. To investigate effects different structures on exciton binding energy ( E b ), designed possesses a Donor–Acceptor (D–A) structure electron‐deficient benzobisthiazole (BBT) as acceptor benzotrithiophene donor, while latter holds π‐A pyrene π‐unit BBT acceptor. Both show production activity two‐step 2e − oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). As anticipated, D–A structured exhibits lower value, its H O rate pure water air reaches up 2.50 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, ≈3 times higher than that (0.91 h⁻¹). This study reveals fully ‐carbon‐linked beneficial production, which provides an effective approach designing high‐performance photocatalysts.
