Bipyridine-integrated bisoxazole-based donor-acceptor covalent organic framework for enhanced photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(25)64864-9

Abstract

Abstract:

The deliberate integration and precise arrangement of electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) moieties within the crystalline lattices of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent a sophisticated strategy to optimize charge separation and electron transfer processes, thereby enhancing photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of two novel bisoxazole-based D-A type COFs, designated as Bpy-COF and Bph-COF. These frameworks incorporate identical acceptor units but are distinguished by their unique donor motifs, enabling a comparative evaluation of their structural and functional properties. The results reveal that Bpy-COF, which incorporates bipyridyl (Bpy) donor moieties, exhibits superior photocatalytic H₂O₂ production performance compared to Bph-COF, potentially related to its broader light response range and increased availability of reactive sites. Furthermore, the coplanar and conjugated nature of the Bpy groups facilitates efficient charge separation and migration, thereby accelerating the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction critical to H₂O₂synthesis. This study affirms the effectiveness of manipulating the structural components of COF photocatalysts, propelling new insights for the design and synthesis of high-performance catalysts.

The complete transient absorption (TA) surface and the corresponding TA spectra at selected pump-probe time delays of Bpy-COF (c) and Bph-COF (d) following 435 nm excitation. The break in the region of 700?900 nm is due to the data being recorded in two separate experiments (450?700 nm and > 900 nm). In-situ DRIFTS acquired over different illumination times for the Bpy-COF (e) and Bph-COF (f) photocatalytic systems (1283?933 cm?1), respectively.
