Covalent Organic Frameworks Containing Dual O2 Reduction Centers for Overall Photosynthetic Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Dan Chen et al.

Summary: This study reports crystalline s-heptazine-based COFs (HEP-TAPT-COF and HEP-TAPB-COF) with separated redox centers for efficient H2O2 production. The spatially and orderly separated active sites in HEP-COFs promote charge separation and enhance photocatalytic H2O2 production.

Constructing Synergistic Triazine and Acetylene Cores in Fully Conjugated Covalent Organic Frameworks for Cascade Photocatalytic H2O2 Production

Lipeng Zhai et al.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a suitable template for photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis due to their tunable chemical structures and semiconductor properties. However, the photoactivity of COFs is still suboptimal due to inefficient charge generation, fast recombination of photogenerated charges, and limited electron transport. In this study, triazine and acetylene units were integrated into COFs, leading to efficient charge separation, suppressed charge recombination, and enhanced electron transport. Experimental and computational results demonstrated that triazine and acetylene units synergistically promoted H2O2 synthesis through a two-electron pathway.

Ling Yuan et al.

Summary: This study found that partial replacement of formate by methoxy in UIO-66-NH2 can significantly enhance the production of H2O2.
