AI Technical Summary
Existing covalent organic framework photocatalysts suffer from rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers and short excited-state lifetimes during photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, resulting in low catalytic efficiency.
By introducing bromine atoms to regulate the electron distribution of the donor-acceptor pair and combining it with post-treatment modification using nano-Fe2O3, sodium citrate, and zinc citrate, a covalent organic framework photocatalyst TzPm-COF-2Br was prepared, which enhanced electron-hole separation and excited-state lifetime.
It significantly improved the photocatalytic activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction to CO, with a CO generation rate of 155 μmol g-1h-1 and a selectivity of 99.4%. The catalytic performance remained almost unchanged after 5 cycles, demonstrating excellent cycling stability.
