Covalent Organic Framework Thin-Film Photodetectors from Solution-Processable Porous Nanospheres

Saikat Bag et al.

Summary: We successfully synthesized uniform covalent organic framework (COF) thin films using a solution-processable sphere transmutation process, which exhibited good crystallinity, porosity, and uniform thickness on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. Four different COF thin films with different functional backbones were synthesized, and the TpEtBr COF film showed the lowest optical band gap and highest excited-state lifetime. All of the COF films exhibited significant photocurrent after illumination with visible light, indicating good photoactive characteristics. The out-of-plane photodetector device based on the TpEtBr COF thin film showed high photocurrent density and hole mobility, demonstrating the best photoactive properties.

Enhancement of Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution Activity of 2D π-Conjugated Bipyridine-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks via Post-Protonation

Lu Dai et al.

Summary: This study focuses on COFs-based photocatalysts, in which a 2D fully conjugated ethylene-linked COF (BTT-BPy-COF) with active sites was fabricated. A post-protonation strategy was employed to fine-tune the active sites, leading to improved charge-separation efficiency and increased hydrophilicity. The optimized BTT-BPy-PCOF exhibited a remarkable H-2 evolution rate under visible light, surpassing a biphenyl-based COF 6 times. Post-protonation was proven to be a potential universal strategy for promoting photocatalytic H-2 evolution and providing important guidance for the design of highly efficient organic semiconductor photocatalysts.

Decoupled Artificial Photosynthesis

Linlin Zhang et al.

Summary: Natural photosynthesis utilizes solar energy to generate oxygen and carbohydrates from water and CO2, while artificial photosynthesis produces fuels and chemicals from renewable energy through water or CO2 splitting. However, the coupling of hydrogen evolution or CO2 reduction with slow water oxidation reduces efficiencies and raises safety concerns. Decoupled artificial photosynthesis (DAP) has emerged as a solution, and this review explores its evolution from natural and artificial photosynthesis, as well as its distinct mechanisms in energy capture, transduction, and conversion. Advances in DAP are summarized in terms of photochemical, photoelectrochemical, and photovoltaic-electrochemical catalysis, with a focus on the energy transduction process. Challenges and perspectives for future research are also discussed.

Tuning Local Charge Distribution in Multicomponent Covalent Organic Frameworks for Dramatically Enhanced Photocatalytic Uranium Extraction

Hui Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, an isoreticular family of multivariate COFs with chromenoquinoline rings and electron-donating or withdrawing groups were synthesized and used as photocatalysts. The intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions in the COFs enabled tuning of charge distribution and carrier separation, leading to improved photocatalytic performance. By optimizing the optoelectronic properties, a nitro-functionalized multicomponent COF achieved a photocatalytic uranium extraction efficiency of 8.02 mg/g/day in natural seawater, surpassing all previously reported COFs. These findings demonstrate an effective design strategy for high-activity COF photocatalysts with intramolecular D-A structures not easily accessible through traditional synthetic methods.

Co-Dissolved Isostructural Polyoxovanadates to Construct Single-Atom-Site Catalysts for Efficient CO2 Photoreduction

Yu-Jie Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a co-dissolved strategy was employed to incorporate mono-dispersed Pt center into V2O5 support by dissolving [PtV9O28](7-) into [V10O28](6-) aqueous solution. The uniform dispersion of [PtV9O28](7-) in [V10O28](6-) solution allowed for the PtV9O28(7-) to be encapsulated by V10O28(6-) clusters through a freeze-drying process. The resulting Pt-V2O5 single-atom-site catalysts exhibited significantly higher CH4 yield and efficient CO2 photoreduction.
