[0002] Catalytic synthesis of high-value-added organic compounds using naturally derived enzymes is a highly efficient synthetic method. This process generally requires the participation of coenzymes (reduced form, i.e., NADH or NADPH), while the oxidized form of the coenzyme (NADPH)... + or NADP + The cycle between the reduced form and the original form determines the efficiency of enzyme-catalyzed reactions to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to design a highly efficient photocatalyst for the in-situ regeneration of reduced coenzymes (hereinafter referred to as coenzymes).

[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous materials formed by covalent bonds. They have good conjugated ductility and strong structural tunability. After photocatalysis, their electronic states, pore size, and pore charge can be regulated, giving them broad application potential in coenzyme regeneration reactions. Summary of the Invention

The COF photocatalyst is essentially a quaternized ammonium salt modified COF, which endows the COF with high positive charge density and specific configuration. Its preparation method is simple. When used for photocatalytic regeneration of NADH, it has the advantages of high enzyme regeneration efficiency, fast reaction, high selectivity and simple operation.

[0005] The present invention proposes a method for preparing a COF photocatalyst, comprising the following steps: S1. An aldehyde monomer and an amino monomer are subjected to a Schiff base condensation reaction, wherein at least one of the aldehyde monomer and the amino monomer contains a hydroxyl group, to obtain a covalent organic framework (COF) with a hydroxyl group. S2. The covalent organic framework (COF) and the bromoalkylammonium salt are subjected to a Williamson synthesis reaction to obtain the COF photocatalyst.

[0006] Preferably, the aldehyde monomer includes aldehydes containing hydroxyl groups and aldehydes without hydroxyl groups. The aldehyde containing hydroxyl groups is at least one of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde, 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxaldehyde, or 1,8-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylaldehyde, preferably 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde. The aldehyde without hydroxyl groups is at least one of terephthalaldehyde, 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldehyde, or 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxaldehyde, preferably 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxaldehyde. Preferably, the molar ratio of the aldehyde containing a hydroxyl group to the aldehyde without a hydroxyl group is 1:1-3.

[0007] Preferably, the amino monomer is at least one of 1,3,5-triaminobenzene, 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene or 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, preferably 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine; Preferably, the molar ratio of the amino monomer to the aldehyde monomer is 1:1-2.

[0008] Preferably, in step S1, the Schiff base condensation reaction is carried out at a temperature of 100-150 °C for 60-84 h. Preferably, the Schiff base condensation reaction is carried out under an acidic reagent, and the reaction solvent is at least one of mesitylene, 1,4-dioxane, n-butanol, or o-dichlorobenzene.

[0009] Preferably, the brominated alkylammonium salt is at least one selected from (2-bromoethyl)trimethylammonium bromide, (3-bromopropyl)trimethylammonium bromide, or (4-bromobutyl)trimethylammonium bromide; Preferably, the mass ratio of the covalent organic framework (COF) to the brominated alkylammonium salt is 1:1-2.

[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the Williamson synthesis reaction is carried out at a temperature of 100-150 °C for 24-48 h. Preferably, the Williamson synthesis reaction is carried out under an alkaline reagent, which is at least one of K2CO3, Na2CO3, or NaOH.

[0011] This invention also proposes a COF photocatalyst, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0012] The present invention also proposes an application of the above-mentioned COF photocatalyst in the photocatalytic regeneration of NADH.

[0013] Preferably, the application involves using oxidized coenzyme NAD.+ The reduced coenzyme NADH was obtained by reduction under the action of the COF photocatalyst.

[0014] Preferably, the application specifically includes: oxidized coenzyme NAD+ + The COF photocatalyst and the rhodium complex are mixed in a buffer solution and then reacted under light to obtain reduced coenzyme NADH.

[0016] In this invention, a COF is synthesized by a solvothermal method using at least one aldehyde monomer containing a hydroxyl group and an amino monomer. The COF structure contains a large number of hydroxyl groups. Using the Williamson reaction, these hydroxyl groups react with an alkyl bromide containing a quaternary ammonium salt, resulting in the removal of hydrogen bromide and the introduction of a quaternary ammonium salt onto the COF. The introduction of the quaternary ammonium salt allows the COF to react with NAD+. + Enhanced interactions between COF and NAD2 lead to electron and hole separation under visible light excitation. Electrons are then transferred to the substrate NAD2 via the intermediate rhodium complex. + The speed is faster, thus accelerating the overall reaction and achieving efficient catalytic conversion.
