Construction of a 2D/2D Crystalline Porous Materials Based S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic H₂ Production

Advanced Energy Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(11)

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2024

Abstract Generally, the low electron–hole separation efficiency of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) prevents their catalytic performance from reaching satisfactory results. For this reason, creation heterojunctions is considered an effective strategy but usually suffers dimensional mismatch integrated material, even at expense its redox capacity. To overcome these difficulties, a novel 2D/2D S‐scheme heterojunction between H 2 N–Cu–MOF (NCM) and TpPa–1–COF (TP1C) successfully constructed for efficient photocatalytic production. The matching dimensions two crystalline porous materials enables with abundant surface reactive sites, strong interaction optimized electronic structure. Moreover, combination can also form S–scheme heterojunction, which not only promote pair, preserve ability, thus remarkably boosting competence. Consequently, rate optimal 20% NCM/TP1C in production reaches 4.19 mmol g −1 h , 46.5 times higher than that bare NCM, 22.1 folds over pure TP1C. This research offers innovative perspective formation based on crystal solar energy utilization.
