Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 61(42)

Published: Aug. 27, 2022

Abstract Two‐dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D‐COFs) have emerged as attractive platforms for solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion. In this study, we implemented a gradient heating strategy to synthesize sp 2 ‐carbon‐linked triazine‐based COF, COF‐JLU100, exhibiting high crystallinity, large surface area, good durability and carrier mobility solar‐driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The Pt‐doped COF‐JLU100 demonstrated evolution rate of over 100 000 μmol g −1 h water splitting under visible‐light illumination (λ>420 nm). Experimental theoretical studies corroborate that the cyano‐vinylene segments in extend π‐delocalization enable fast charge transfer separation rates well dispersion water. Moreover, can be prepared by low‐cost easily available monomers has excellent stability, which is desirable practical production.

The effect of enantioselective chiral covalent organic frameworks and cysteine sacrificial donors on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Oct. 1, 2022

Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have constituted an emerging class of photocatalysts showing enormous potential for visible photocatalytic H 2 evolution from water. However, suffering sluggish reaction kinetics, COFs often cooperate with precious metal co-catalysts essential proton-reducing capability. Here, we synthesize a chiral β-ketoenamine-linked COF coordinated 10.51 wt% atomically dispersed Cu(II) as electron transfer mediator. The enantioselective combination the COF-Cu(II) skeleton L-/D-cysteine sacrificial donors remarkably strengthens hole extraction and in turn, photoinduced electrons accumulate rapidly via Cu ions. Also, parallelly stacking sequence provides energetically favorable arrangement H-adsorbed sites. Thus, without metal, rate reaches high 14.72 mmol h −1 g enantiomeric mixtures. This study opens up strategy optimizing kinetics promises exciting photocatalysis.

Published: April 24, 2023

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are new porous materials constructed by covalent bonds, with the advantages of pre-designable topology, adjustable pore size, and abundant active sites. Many research studies have shown that COFs exhibit great potential in gas adsorption, molecular separation, catalysis, drug delivery, energy storage, etc. However, electrons holes intrinsic COF prone to compounding transport, carrier lifetime is short. The donor-acceptor (D-A) type COFs, which synthesized introducing D A units into backbone, combine separated electron hole migration pathway, tunable band gap optoelectronic properties D-A polymers unique made progress related recent years. Here, synthetic strategies first outlined, including rational design linkages as well functionalization approaches. Then applications catalytic reactions, photothermal therapy, electronic systematically summarized. In final section, current challenges, directions for development presented.

Effect of Controlling Thiophene Rings on D-A Polymer Photocatalysts Accessed via Direct Arylation for Hydrogen Production

Molecules, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 28(11), P. 4507 - 4507

Published: June 1, 2023

Conjugated polymer photocatalysts for hydrogen production have the advantages of an adjustable structure, strong response in visible light region, energy levels, and easy functionalization. Using atom- step-economic direct C–H arylation method, dibromocyanostilbene was polymerized with thiophene, dithiophene, terthiophene, fused thienothiophene dithienothiophene, respectively, to produce donor–acceptor (D-A)-type linear conjugated polymers containing different thiophene derivatives conjugation lengths. Among them, D-A photocatalyst constructed from dithienothiophene could significantly broaden spectral response, a evolution rate up 12.15 mmol h−1 g−1. The results showed that increase number rings on building blocks beneficial photocatalytic cyanostyrylphene-based polymers. For unfused dithiophene enabled more rotation freedom between reduced intrinsic charge mobility, resulting lower performance accordingly. This study provides suitable process design electron donors photocatalysts.

sp2 carbon-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (sp2c-COFs) with superb in-plane π-conjugations, high chemical stability, and robust framework structure are expected to be ideal films/membranes for a wide range of applications including energy-related devices optoelectronics. However, so far, sp2c-COFs have been mainly limited microcrystalline powders, this consequently hampered their performances in devices. Herein, we report simple methodology fabricate large-area, free-standing, crystalline sp2c-COF films (TFPT–TMT TB–TMT) on various solid substrates (e.g., fluorine-doped tin oxide, aluminum sheet, polyacrylonitrile membrane) by self-assembly monolayer-assisted surface-initiated Schiff-base-mediated aldol polycondensation (namely, SI-SBMAP). The resultant show lateral sizes up 120 cm2 tunable thickness from tens nanometers few micrometers. Owing the highly ordered quasi-1D channels, membrane-based osmotic power generator presents an output density 14.1 W m–2 under harsh conditions, outperforming most reported COF membranes as well commercialized benchmark (5 m–2).
