设计高度共轭和电子给体-受体(D-A)结构是提升共价有机框架(COFs)电荷分离和转移的有效手段. 鉴于此, 通过Knoevenagel缩合反应构筑了两种sp²-碳连接的BBpy-COF和BBph-COF光催化剂, 并系统研究了其光催化产双氧水(H2O2)性能. 实验结果表明, BBpy-COF光催化H2O2生成速率可达1394.7 µmol•g−1•h−1, 为BBph-COF (656.5 µmol•g−1•h−1)的2.12倍, 其性能提升归因于苯并三噻吩(Btt)电子给体与联吡啶(Bpy)电子受体间的强D-A作用和C=C双键连接的共轭增强效应调控优化了光生载流子的分离效率, 最后依靠氧还原反应(ORR)活性位点Bpy, 高效通过两步单电子ORR路径实现光催化产H2O2. 本项工作为合理设计和构筑高效COFs光催化材料提供了一定的参考.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline organic materials connected by covalent bonds. Due to their pre-designed structures similar to the modular assembly of Lego bricks, adjustable optical and electronic properties, high chemical and thermal stability and so on, COFs have been proved to be promising photocatalysts for the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, similar to other photocatalysts, COFs also suffer from the common challenge of inefficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Constructing COFs with high conjugation and electron donor-acceptor (D-A) structure is an effective strategy to improve the separation and transfer capacity of photogenerated charges. Herein, through a simple yet effective one-step solvothermal synthesis approach, two kinds of sp2-carbon conjugated COFs with D-A structure (designated as BBpy-COF and BBph-COF) were successfully fabricated by the Knoevenagel condensation reaction, and their photocatalytic performance towards H2O2 production was evaluated. BBpy-COF with the linker of 2,2'-([2,2'-bipyridine]- 5,5'-diyl) diacetonitrile (Bpy-2CN) displayed a high photocatalytic H2O2 production rate of 1394.7 µmol•g−1•h−1, with 2.12-fold enhancement compared to BBph-COF with the linker of 4,4'-biphenyldiacetonitrile (Bph-2CN). Through a series of experiments such as the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the photocatalytic mechanism was revealed that compared with BBph-COF, by virtue of the D-A structure constructed by the strong electron donor benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':5,6-b'']trithiophene- 2,5,8-tricarbaldehyde (Btt) with the strong electron acceptor bipyridine (Bpy) and the C=C double bond connection to enhance the conjugation of the framework, BBpy-COF possessed a stronger electron push-pull effect to enhance the visible-light absorption capacity and accelerate the separation and migration of photogenerated e-h+ pairs. Ultimately, leveraging Bpy as active sites of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), BBpy-COF achieved efficient photocatalytic H2O2 production via a two-step single-electron ORR pathway. This work employs an innovative ‘triple-in-one’ integration strategy that combines D-A structure construction, the C=C double bond linkages and embedding Bpy as ORR active sites into the skeleton of COFs, offering valuable insights and references for the rational design and fabrication of high-performance COFs-based photocatalytic materials.
