Benefiting from the excellent structural tunability, robust framework, ultrahigh porosity, and rich active sites, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are widely recognized as promising photocatalysts in chemical conversions, and emerged in the hydrogen peroxide (H O ) photosynthesis in 2020. H O , serving as an environmental-friendly oxidant and a promising liquid fuel, has attracted increasing researchers to explore its potential. Over the past few years, numerous COFs-based photocatalysts are developed with encouraging achievements in H O production, whereas no comprehensive review articles exist to summarize this specific and significant area. Herein we provide a systematic overview of the advances and challenges of COFs in photocatalytic H O production. We first introduce the priorities of COFs in H O photosynthesis. Then, various strategies to improve COFs photocatalytic efficiency are discussed. The perspective and outlook for future advances of COFs in this emerging field are finally offered. This timely review will pave the way for the development of highly efficient COFs photocatalysts for practical production of value-added chemicals not limited to H O .
得益于出色的结构可调性、坚固的框架、超高的孔隙率和丰富的活性位点,共价有机框架(COFs)被广泛认为是化学转化中很有前景的光催化剂,并于2020年出现在过氧化氢(H₂O₂)光合作用领域。H₂O₂作为一种环境友好型氧化剂和有前景的液体燃料,吸引了越来越多的研究人员探索其潜力。在过去几年中,人们开发了众多基于COFs的光催化剂,在H₂O₂生产方面取得了令人鼓舞的成果,然而尚无全面的综述文章来总结这一特定且重要的领域。在此,我们对COFs在光催化H₂O₂生产方面的进展和挑战进行系统概述。我们首先介绍COFs在H₂O₂光合作用中的优势。然后,讨论了提高COFs光催化效率的各种策略。最后给出了COFs在这一新兴领域未来进展的展望。这篇及时的综述将为开发高效的COFs光催化剂以实际生产不限于H₂O₂的增值化学品铺平道路。
