The slight change of backbones inside frameworks leads to different electronic states by external stimuli, such as solvent, pH, and water. Herein, we introduced an alkynyl-based building block (ETBA) with high planarity to synthesize two imine-based alkynyl-COFs (ETBA-TAPE-COF and ETBA-PYTA-COF) with high yield, good crystallinity, and chemical stability. Due to the presence of acetylene bonds, ETBA-TAPE-COF does not adopt the completely overlapping AA stacking mode. Slight interlayer displacement occurs along the parallel direction relative to the acetylene linkages, which facilitates lower configurational energy. Additionally, the introduction of pyrene group contributes to high π-electron mobility of ETBA-PYTA-COF. The interactions between electron-withdrawing group (ETBA) and electron-donating group (PYTA) during the processes of protonation and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) endow ETBA-PYTA-COF with excellent acidochromic and solvatochromic properties, respectively. Based on this, a fluorescence sensor is successfully established, which can be used for rapid response to trace amounts of water in organic solvents. In contrast, ETBA-TAPE-COF does not exhibit these photophysical properties due to its higher HOMO–LUMO gap compared to ETBA-PYTA-COF. This work proposes a new strategy for designing and preparing COFs with unique photophysical properties without introducing additional functional groups.展开更多

文摘Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))production offers a sustainable route to convert water and oxygen into H_(2)O_(2)using solar energy.However,achieving long-term stability in photocatalysts remains a critical challenge due to mismatched kinetics between oxygen reduction(ORR)and water oxidation(WOR),which leads to hole accumulation and oxidative degradation.Here,we report a redox-mediated strategy to address this bottleneck by designing a hydroquinone-embedded covalent organic framework(Tz-QH-COF)that enables reversible hole buffering and kinetic balance.The hydroquinone(QH)units act as dynamic hole reservoirs,capturing excess holes during ORR and converting to benzoquinone(Q),which is regenerated to QH via WOR,thereby preventing oxidative decomposition.This reversible QH/Q cycle,directly visualized through in situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy,ensures unmatched stability,achieving continuous H_(2)O_(2) production for 528 h(22 d)with an accumulated yield of 18.6 mmol L^(–1)—the highest reported duration for organic photocatalysts.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the QH units exhibit a strong oxygen adsorption energy and favorable two-electron ORR/WOR pathways with low energy barriers.The synergy between experimental and theoretical insights elucidates a redox-mediated charge-balance mechanism,advancing the design of robust photocatalysts for solar-driven H_(2)O_(2) synthesis.

文摘As global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise,the utilization of environmentally friendly alternative fuels becomes increasingly crucial[1].Methane,with its high hydrogen-to-carbon(H/C)ratio,emits less CO_(2) than petroleum upon combustion,making it an efficient and clean energy source[2].Efficient methane storage is therefore a critical challenge and goal.Adsorbed natural gas(ANG)has recently been widely reported as a promising methane adsorption method,which utilizes porous materials to adsorb methane at high pressure and desorb it at relatively low pressure,offering superior working capacity performance over conventional compressed natural gas systems[3].Covalent organic frameworks(COFs),porous crystalline materials with permanent porosity and highly ordered structures constructed via strong covalent bonds,show good potential as methane adsorbents due to their permanent porosity[4].However,achieving high specific surface area and appropriate pore size in COFs for enhanced methane adsorption capacity remains a challenge.

文摘Porous materials are excellent adsorbents for the removal of organic dyes from sewage and play a significant role in environmental restoration.Herein,two ferrocene(Fc)-based covalent organic frameworks(Fc-COFs),namely FcTF-COF and FcBD-COF,are successfully synthesized for the first time through a solvothermal method,and the obtained Fc-COFs powders are used to adsorb Congo red(CR)from water.The results show that both FcTF-COF and FcBD-COF have superb adsorption performance towards CR with ultrahigh adsorption capability of 1672.2 mg g−1 and 1983.7 mg g−1 at pH=4.0,respectively,outperforming the majority of the reported solid porous adsorbents.The maximum adsorption of both Fc-COFs agrees with the Sips adsorption isothermal model,indicating that their adsorption was dominated by heterogeneous adsorption.The Coulombic interactions,hydrogen bonding,π-πinteractions and ion-dipolar interactions should all contribute to their ultrahigh CR adsorption capability and high-pH resistance performance regardless of the pH in the range of 4-9.In addition,after five cycles,both COFs still remain their exceptional high CR adsorption capabilities.This study offers a prospective organic porous adsorbent with promising applications for organic dye removal in sewage processing.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs),as a burgeoning class of crystalline porous materials have attracted widespread interest due to their designable structures and customized functions.However,the solvothermal synthesis of COFs is often time-consuming and conducted at a high temperature within a sealed vessel,and also requires a large amount of poisonous solvents,which is generally not available for scaling-up production and commercial application.In recent years,great efforts have been made to explore simple,green,and efficient approaches for COFs synthesis.In this comprehensive review,we summarized the advances in emergent strategies by highlighting their distinct features.Fundamental issues and future directions are also discussed with the object of bringing implications for large-scale and sustainable fabrication of COFs.

文摘The uneven deposition and high reactivity of lithium-metal anode(LMA)lead to uncontrollable dendrite growth,low Coulombic efficiency,and safety concerns,hindering their commercialization.Here,a representative polar-rich-group triazine-based covalent organic framework(COF-TzDha)with a desolvation effect is designed as an interlayer for stable,dendrite-free LMA.The abundant triazine rings in COFTzDha as a donor effectively attract lithium ions,while the one-dimensional nanopore structure facilitates lithium-ion migration.The periodic arrangement of polar groups(-OH)in the backbone interacts with electrolyte components(DOL,DME,TFSI-)to form a hydrogen bonding network that slows solvent molecules transport.Therefore,COF-TzDha effectively desolvates lithium ions from the solvent sheath,promoting uniform lithium ion flux and Li plating/stripping.Theoretical calculations verify that COFTzDha with abundant adsorption sites and strong adsorption energy facilitates lithium ion desolvation.Consequently,the introduction of COF-TzDha obtains a high ion mobility(0.75).The Li|COF@PP|Li symmetric cell cycles stably for over 1200 h at 4 mA cm^(-2)/4.0 mA h cm^(-2).The Li|COF@PP|LiFePO_(4)full cell also displays highly stable cycling performance with 600 cycles(75.5%capacity retention,~100% Coulombic efficiency)at 1 C.This work verifies an effective strategy for inducing uniform Li deposition and achieving dendrite-free,stable LMA using a polar-rich-group COF interlayer with a desolvation effect.

文摘Rechargeable chlorine-based battery recently emerged as a promising substitute for energy storage systems due to their high average operating voltage(~3.7 V)and large theoretical capacity of~754.9 mAh g-1.However,insufficient supply of chlorine(Cl_(2))and sluggish oxidation of NaCl to Cl_(2) limit its practical application.Covalent Organic Frameworks(COFs)have the potential to be ideal Cl_(2) host materials as Cl_(2) adsorbents for their abundant porosity and easily modifiable nature.In this work,the single atom Mn coordinated biomimetic phthalocyanine COFs are used for Cl_(2) capture and catalyst.The DFT reveals that ASMn and-NH_(2) significantly change the microenvironment around the active site,effectively promoting the oxidation of NaCl.When applied as the cathode material for Na-Cl_(2) batteries,the SAMn-COFs-NH2 electrode exhibits large reversible capacities and excellent high-rate cycling performances throughout 200 cycles based on the mechanism of highly reversible NaCl/Cl_(2) redox reactions.Even at the temperature as low as-40℃,the SAMn-COFs-NH2 cathode showed stable discharge ca-pacities at~1000 mAh g^(-1) over 50 cycles with a voltage plateau of~3.3 V.This work may provide new insights for the investigation of chlorine-based electrochemical redox mechanisms and the design of green nanoscaled electrodes for high-property chlorine-based batteries.
文摘Photoinduced molecular oxygen activation is crucial for artificial photosynthesis.However,metal-free semiconductor photocatalysts with high activation efficiency are still lacking up to now.Herein,two isomorphic tris(triazolo)triazine-based covalent organic frameworks were successfully constructed under solvothermal conditions.And they possess high crystallinity,inherent porosity with large surface area and good stability.Strong electron donor-acceptor skeletons expand the visible light harvesting,also facilitate the charge separation and thus lead to their superior activity of photoinduced molecular oxygen activation including photosynthesis of tetrahydroquinolines and hydrogen peroxide.This work provides a way to improve the efficiency of molecular oxygen activation through the rational design of COFs,and also opens new avenues for the construction of highly active and metal-free photocatalysts toward sustainable solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are crystalline porous polymeric materials composed of organic monomers connected by strong covalent bonds and offer high stability,good crystallinity,a large specific surface area,and controllable structures.COFs are widely used in the fields of adsorption and separation,catalysis,photovoltaics,and drug-delivery.The structural regulation and performance optimization of COFs can be realized through the modification of ligands and the selection of linkage methods.In which,the types of linkage are closely related to the stability and performance of COFs.In this review,nitrogencontaining linkage-bonds(NCLBs)in COFs are divided into N-containing double bonds,N-containing conjugated rings and N-containing unconjugated rings.The association between structure and performance of COFs is elaborated and the synthesis methods of COFs are systematically summarized.Moreover,the structural design,theoretical prediction and machinable application of COFs are prospected.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are newly developed crystalline substances that are garnering growing interest because of their ultrahigh porosity,crystalline nature,and easy-modified architecture,showing promise in the field of photocatalysis.However,it is difficult for pure COFs materials to achieve excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production due to their severe carrier recombination problems.To mitigate this crucial issue,establishing heterojunction is deemed an effective approach.Nonetheless,many of the metal-containing materials that have been used to construct heterojunctions with COFs own a number of drawbacks,including small specific surface area and rare active sites(for inorganic semiconductor materials),wider bandgaps and higher preparation costs(for MOFs).Therefore,it is necessary to choose metal-free materials that are easy to prepare.Red phosphorus(RP),as a semiconductor material without metal components,with suitable bandgap,moderate redox potential,relatively minimal toxicity,is affordable and readily available.Herein,a range of RP/TpPa-1-COF(RP/TP1C)composites have been successfully prepared through solvothermal method.The two-dimensional structure of the two materials causes strong interactions between the materials,and the construction of heterojunctions effectively inhibits the recombination of photogenic charge carriers.As a consequence,the 9%RP/TP1C composite,with the optimal photocatalytic ability,achieves a photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 6.93 mmol g^(-1) h^(-1),demonstrating a 10.19-fold increase compared to that of bare RP and a 4.08-fold improvement over that of pure TP1C.This article offers a novel and innovative method for the advancement of efficient COF-based photocatalysts.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)play a crucial role in metal-free electrocatalysts for promoting oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)due to their adjustable skeleton structure and catalytic activity.While it is true that numerous studies have explored COFs for ORR,the critical gap by providing a systematic framework for ligand-driven electronic state manipulation is essential for designing highly active COF-based ORR catalysts.Herein,a series of COF-based metal-free materials have been conceived and synthesized by linkage-engineered strategy with dicarboxaldehyde(BPC),bipyridine-dicarbaldehyde(BPA)and benzodithiophene(BDA)as electronic linkages.Consequently,by incorporating different linkages into COFs,the surface area,electronic state,hydrophobic properties and affinities towards intermediates are optimized.Notably,the benzodithiophene-linked COF(denoted as BDA-COF)has greater catalytic ability with a half-wave potential of 0.74 V vs.RHE and an onset potential of 0.86 V vs.RHE than dicarboxaldehyde(denoted as BPC-COF)and dicarbaldehyde(denoted as BPA-COF).Relevant characterizations,in situ techniques and theoretical calculations confirm that thiophene-S-based COF promotes the electronic migration and enhances the interaction with the intermediate.The result provides insight into for illustration of a high-performance COF-based electrocatalyst via a linkage-engineered approach.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have garnered widespread attention due to their designability and diversity[1].Customization has always been a pursuit of chemists and materials scientists[2].Topology provides a means of abstracting the complex structures of MOFs by identifying and classifying the fundamental building units and connection patterns,simplifying the understanding of MOF structures[3].
文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are crystalline materials composed of covalently bonded organic ligands with chemically permeable structures.Their crystallization is achieved by balancing thermal reversibility with the dynamic nature of the frameworks.Ionic covalent organic frameworks(ICOFs)are a subclass that incorporates ions in positive,negative,or zwitterionic forms into the frameworks.In particular,spiroborate-derived linkages enhance both the structural diversity and functionality of ICOFs.Unlike electroneutral COFs,ICOFs can be tailored by adjusting the types and arrangements of ions,influencing their formation mechanisms and physical properties.This study focuses on analyzing the graph-based structural characteristics of ICOFs with spiroborate linkages.We compute graph based entropy using hybrid topological descriptors that capture both local and global structural patterns.Furthermore,statistical regression models are developed to predict graph energies of larger-dimensional ICOF structures based on these descriptors.To ensure the robustness and accuracy of our results,we validated our findings using a pseudocode algorithm specifically designed for computing degree-based topological indices.This computational validation confirms the consistency of the derived descriptors and supports their applicability in quantitative structure-property relationship(QSPR)modeling.Overall,this approach provides valuable insights for future applications in material design and property prediction within the framework of ICOFs.

文摘The hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(HOFs)as a new type of porous framework materials have been widely studied in various areas.However,the lack of appropriate active sites,low intrinsic conductivity,and poor stability limited their performance in the field of electrocatalysis.Herein,we designed two 2D metal hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(2D–M–HOF,M=Cu^(2+)or Ni^(2+))with coordination compounds based on 2,3,6,7,14,15-hexahydroxyl cyclotricatechylene and transition metal ions(Cu^(2+)and Ni^(2+)),respectively.The crystal structure of 2D–Cu–HOF is determined by continuous rotation electron diffraction,indicating an undulated 2D hydrogen-bond network with interlayeredπ-πstacking.The flexible structure of 2D–M–HOF leads to the formation of self-adaption interlayered sites,resulting in superior activity and selectivity in the electrocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) to C_(2) products,achieving a total Faradaic efficiency exceeding 80%due to the high-efficiency C–C coupling.The experimental results and density functional calculations verify that the undulated 2D–M–HOF enables the energetically favorable formation of*OCCHO intermediate.This work provides a promising strategy for designing HOF catalysts in electrocatalysis and related processes.

文摘The utilization of covalent organic frameworks(COFs)holds great potential for achieving tailorable tuning of catalytic performance through bottom-up modulation of the reticular structure.In this work,we show that a single-point structural alteration in the linkage within a nickel phthalocyanine(NiPc)-based series effectively modulates the catalytic performance of the COFs in electrochemical CO_(2)reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).A Ni Pc-based COF series with three members which possess the same Ni Pc unit but different linkages,including piperazine,dioxin,and dithiine,have been constructed by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between octafluorophthalocyanine nickel and tetrasubstituted benzene linkers with different bridging groups.Among these COFs,the dioxin-linked COF showed the best activity of CO_(2)RR with a current density of CO(j_(CO))=-27.99 m A cm^(-2)at-1.0 V(versus reversible hydrogen electrode,RHE),while the COF with piperazine linkage demonstrated an excellent selectivity of Faradaic efficiency for CO(FECO)up to 90.7%at a pretty low overpotential of 0.39 V.In addition,both a high FECO value close to 100%and a reasonable jCO of-8.20 m A cm^(-2)at the potential of-0.8 V(versus RHE)were obtained by the piperazine-linked COF,making it one of the most competitive candidates among COF-based materials.Mechanistic studies exhibited that single-point structural alteration could tailor the electron density in Ni sites and alter the interaction between the active sites and the key intermediates adsorbed and desorbed,thereby tuning the electrochemical performance during CO_(2)RR process.

文摘A sp^(2) carbon-conjugated covalent organic framework (BDATN) was modified through γ-ray radiation reduction and subsequent acidification with hydrochloric acid to yield a novel functional COF (named rBDATN-HCl) for Cr(Ⅵ) removal.The morphology and structure of rBDATN-HCl were analyzed and identified by SEM,FTIR,XRD and solid-state13C NMR.It is found that the active functional groups,such as hydroxyl and amide,were introduced into BDATN after radiation reduction and acidification.The prepared rBDATN-HCl demonstrates a photocatalytic reduction removal rate of Cr(Ⅵ) above 99%after 60min of illumination with a solid-liquid ratio of 0.5 mg/mL,showing outstanding performance,which is attributed to the increase of dispersibility and adsorption sites of r BDATN-HCl.In comparison to the cBDATN-HCl synthesized with chemical reduction,rBDATN-HCl exhibits a better photoreduction performance for Cr(Ⅵ),demonstrating the advantages of radiation preparation of rBDATN-HCl.It is expected that more functionalized sp^(2) carbon-conjugated COFs could be obtained by this radiation-induced reduction strategy.
