Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising materials for oxygen catalysis. Here, a novel, highly stable, conjugated two-dimensional poly(benzimidazole porphyrin-cobalt) (PBIPorCo) with a large delocalization energy is synthesized using meso-5,10,15,20-tetra (4-cyano-phenylporphyrin) cobalt (TCNPorCo) and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB). The decrease in energy between the HOMO and LUMO orbitals of PBIPorCo could enhance the capability for the gain and loss of electrons during the catalytic process. In a nitrogen-rich environment, a benzimidazole (BI) group can transfer electrons to the Co-N site and enhance the protonation process in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The π-π interactions between PBIPorCo and three-dimensional graphene (3D-G) form an "electron donor-π-electron acceptor" structure to boost the bifunctional oxygen catalysis process. PBIPorCo/3D-G exhibits outstanding bifunctional oxygen catalytic performance (Δ = 0.62 V) and outstanding performance in zinc-air batteries. It exhibits satisfactory potential for application in fuel cells (FCs) and overall water splitting (OWS). This work presents a promising strategy for the design of novel COFs as bifunctional oxygen catalysts.
共价有机框架(COFs)是用于氧催化的有前景的材料。在此,使用中-5,10,15,20-四(4-氰基苯基卟啉)钴(TCNPorCo)和3,3'-二氨基联苯胺(DAB)合成了一种具有大离域能的新型、高度稳定的共轭二维聚(苯并咪唑卟啉-钴)(PBIPorCo)。PBIPorCo的最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)和最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO)之间的能量降低可以增强催化过程中电子得失的能力。在富氮环境中,苯并咪唑(BI)基团可以将电子转移到Co-N位点,并增强氧还原反应(ORR)中的质子化过程。PBIPorCo与三维石墨烯(3D-G)之间的π-π相互作用形成“电子供体-π-电子受体”结构,以促进双功能氧催化过程。PBIPorCo/3D-G表现出出色的双功能氧催化性能(Δ = 0.62 V)以及在锌空气电池中的出色性能。它在燃料电池(FCs)和全水分解(OWS)中展现出令人满意的应用潜力。这项工作为设计新型COFs作为双功能氧催化剂提出了一种有前景的策略。
