In this study, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were successfully combined with BiVO4 photoanode through a covalent bond for the first time. The heterojunction and covalent connection of COFs and BiVO4 promoted carrier separation and increased carrier concentration of the photoanode. The TpPaC/BiVO4 photoanode showed the best performance, indicating the potential of this covalent hybridization strategy for COF-modified photoanodes.
For the first time, covalent organic frameworks (COF-TpPa and COF-TpPaC) are selected to combine with the BiVO4 photoanode through a covalent bond. The heterojunction and covalent connection of COFs and BiVO4 can promote the separation of carriers, and the -CH3 on the benzene ring in COF-TpPaC as an electron donor group can increase the carrier concentration of the photoanode. As a result, the TpPaC/BiVO4 photoanode shows the best performance. This covalent hybridization strategy opens a new insight into the development of COF-modified photoanodes.
