AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The application potential of existing phthalocyanine-based COFs in the field of photocatalysis has not been fully explored, mainly because the energy level difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital of the phthalocyanine unit and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the COF backbone obstructs the transport path of photogenerated carriers and results in low interface charge separation efficiency.

Method used

A charge-directed separation phthalocyanine-based COF material is designed by introducing metal phthalocyanine units and 5-hydroxy-isophthalaldehyde to form an AA stacked layered structure. The metal core attracts electrons, reducing in-plane charge transport and promoting out-of-plane charge transport, thereby achieving directional carrier separation and optimizing bandgap matching.

Benefits of technology

It improves the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production. The material is stable in water, acid, alkali and common organic solvents, and has excellent photocatalytic performance and stability, making it suitable for gas storage and sensing.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of covalent organic framework materials, and more particularly relates to a charge directional separation phthalocyanine-based COF material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Covalent organic framework (COF) materials exhibit great potential in the fields of gas adsorption / separation, proton conduction, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, energy storage, sensing and biological-related applications. In order to further improve the performance of the materials and expand the application scenarios, the development of new COF materials has always been a research hotspot. Due to the flexibility and designability of COF materials at the molecular level, a large number of combinations of available building blocks can derive COF materials with diverse structures and rich functions. Among them, the selection of building blocks with functionality, modifiability and stability is crucial to expand the structural and functional diversity of new COFs.

[0003] Phthalocyanine (Pc) is a synthetic tetrapyrrole compound with a planar macrocyclic 18π-electron conjugated system. Its unique electronic structure and photophysical properties provide an ideal platform for functional material design. The introduction of phthalocyanine units into the COF framework can achieve the advantage of complementation at the molecular level, i.e., the synergistic effect of the periodic porous network of COFs and the wide-spectrum light response characteristics of phthalocyanine, which not only expands the diversity of COFs in the topological structure dimension and functional integration, but also exhibits a significant "1+1>2" interface synergistic effect. At present, the research on phthalocyanine-based COFs (Pc-COFs) is heating up, and its design strategy has developed from simple monomer preparation to precise regulation of multi-level structures, and a variety of advanced materials with high specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity have emerged. However, the existing research still has obvious limitations: (1) In the aspect of structural design, the reported Pc-COFs are mostly limited to the alternating assembly of single phthalocyanine units and simple connecting groups (such as benzene rings and triazines), and there is a lack of in-depth exploration of multi-metal center synergy or hybrid π-conjugated systems; (2) In the aspect of functional applications, although phthalocyanine molecules have photosensitive activity, the research on Pc-COFs mainly focuses on the fields of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), biosensors and lithium ion battery electrode materials, and its application potential in the field of photocatalysis has not been fully tapped. The mechanism behind this phenomenon may be due to the energy level mismatch problem in the system: the energy level difference (ΔE≈1.4eV) between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO, -5.2eV) of the phthalocyanine unit and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO, -3.8eV) of the COF framework hinders the transmission path of photo-generated carriers, thereby significantly reducing the interface charge separation efficiency. How to optimize the energy band matching will be the key breakthrough to unlock the photocatalytic performance of Pc-COFs. SUMMARY
