Abstract

Abstract:

Carbon nitride (C₃N₄) has been the main research focus for photocatalytic H₂O₂ synthesis that may enable the on-site and on-demand H₂O₂ production under mild conditions. Its potential is unfortunately shadowed by the narrow light absorption and fast charge recombination. Building on the understanding of the inherent merits and pitfalls of C₃N₄, we here propose to assemble active heptazine motifs with functional linkers in ordered molecular frameworks for highly efficient photocatalytic H₂O₂ production. Herein, a heptazine-based covalent organic framework is synthesized via the Schiff-base reaction. It has enhanced light absorption and charge separation. When irradiated with visible light in the presence of sacrificial electron donors, the sample exhibits an excellent H₂O₂ production rate of 11986 μmol h^-1 g^-1 and an apparent quantum efficiency up to 38% at 420 nm, outperforming most organic or inorganic competitors in our best knowledge. Impressively, the catalyst can also endure long time operation that affords the linear H₂O₂ accumulation to a practically usable concentration.

Key words: H₂O₂ production, Photocatalysis, Oxygen reduction, Covalent organic frameworks, Carbon nitride
