چکیده
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new class of crystalline organic polymers that have garnered significant recent attention as highly promising H2 evolution photocatalysts. This Perspective discusses the advances in this field of energy research while highlighting the underlying peremptory factors for the rational design of readily tunable COF photoabsorber-cocatalyst systems for optimal photocatalytic performance.

Structure-property-activity relationships in a pyridine containing azine-linked covalent organic framework for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
Organic solids such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous polymers and carbon nitrides have garnered attention as a new generation of photocatalysts that offer tunability of their optoelectronic properties both at the molecular level and at the nanoscale. Owing to their inherent porosity and well-ordered nanoscale architectures, COFs are an especially attractive platform for the rationa...
متن کاملSolar Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production from Water Using a Dual Bed Photosystem
We have been investigating the use of organic pigments as semiconductor photocatalysts in a dual stage water decomposition scheme that would ultimately use solar energy to generate hydrogen from water. We have shown that by employing a combination of simple screening procedures on prospective compounds, such as semiempirical molecular orbital calculations and thin film voltammetry, we can quick...

Novel visible-light-driven Cd0.2Zn0.8S/g-C3N4 inorganic-organic composite photocatalysts were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared Cd0.2Zn0.8S/g-C3N4 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron m...
متن کاملBottom-up design of 2D organic photocatalysts for visible-light driven hydrogen evolution.
To design two-dimensional (2D) organocatalysts, three series of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are constructed using bottom-up strategies, i.e. molecular selection, tunable linkage, and functionalization. First-principles calculations are performed to confirm their photocatalytic activity under visible light. Two of our constructed 2D COF models (B1 and C3) are identified as a sufficiently ...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic overall water splitting by conjugated semiconductors with crystalline poly(triazine imide) frameworks.
Photocatalytic water splitting is an ideal pathway to produce hydrogen for the future energy supply due to the sustainability of solar energy and the mild reaction conditions. In the past four decades, many inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts have been studied for this purpose. In recent years, conjugated polymers, in particular covalent carbon nitride frameworks, have rapidly emerged as a n...
