Abstract:
The development of efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution is pivotal for sustainable energy conversion. Herein, two novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs), COF-TFPPy and COF-TAEPy, were synthesized via Schiff-base condensation, distinguished by their C-C and C---C bridging units, respectively. Structural and photophysical characterizations revealed that the alkynyl-bridged COF-TAEPy exhibited enhanced it-conjugation, reduced bandgap, and superior charge transfer kinetics compared to COF-TFPPy. Under visible light, COFTAEPy demonstrated a remarkable hydrogen evolution rate of 75.2 mmol h-1 g-1 , twofold higher than COFTFPPy (37.5 mmol h-1 g-1). This performance stems from alkynyl-induced ultrafast charge separation, prolonged exciton lifetimes, and minimized recombination losses. Our findings highlight the critical role of alkynyl bridges in tailoring COFs for high-efficiency photocatalytic applications, providing a strategic blueprint for designing advanced energy conversion materials.
