Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials science and technology, specifically relating to porphyrin-based COFs photocatalysts, their preparation methods, and their application in photocatalytic H2O2 production. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as an important green redox reagent, possesses both oxidation and reduction activities, and its reaction products are only water and oxygen. It has irreplaceable application value in fields such as pharmaceutical disinfection, chemical synthesis, pulp bleaching, environmental pollutant degradation, and energy storage. Currently, global H2O2 production mainly relies on the anthraquinone process. This process requires multiple steps including anthraquinone hydrogenation, oxidation, extraction, and distillation, involving not only the use of toxic solvents and secondary pollution emissions, but also inherent drawbacks such as high energy consumption, large equipment investment, high product separation costs, and limited process continuity and flexibility. The technological bottlenecks of the traditional anthraquinone process are becoming increasingly prominent, making the development of low-energy-consumption, low-pollution green H2O2 preparation technology an urgent industry need. Solar energy, as the most abundant renewable energy source on Earth, provides a core pathway for solving energy and environmental problems through its large-scale utilization. Photocatalytic H2O2 preparation technology driven by solar energy can directly utilize water and oxygen as raw materials to achieve the reaction at room temperature and pressure, combining energy utilization and environmental friendliness, providing a disruptive solution for the transformation of H2O2 from a high-energy-consuming product to a green chemical.
[0003] The core of photocatalytic H2O2 preparation lies in generating photocharges by absorbing light energy through a photocatalyst, which drives the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR) in a coordinated manner. Early research mainly focused on traditional semiconductor materials such as metal oxides (e.g., TiO2, ZnO) and metal sulfides (e.g., CdS, MoS2), but these materials suffer from problems such as low photocharge separation efficiency, narrow visible light response range, and poor chemical stability (e.g., sulfides are prone to photocorrosion). Subsequently, carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attracted attention due to their tunable structural properties, but the insufficient active sites in carbon-based materials and the poor hydrothermal stability of MOFs limited their applications. In recent years, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a class of crystalline porous materials formed by light elements linked by covalent bonds, have shown unique advantages in the field of photocatalysis due to their precisely tunable topology, high specific surface area, controllable distribution of active sites, and excellent chemical stability. By controlling the monomer structure and connection mode, the band structure, light absorption range and charge transport performance of COFs can be precisely controlled. At present, a series of COF photocatalysts such as porphyrin, phthalocyanine and triazine have been developed.
[0004] Despite significant progress in the photocatalytic production of H2O2 using COFs-based photocatalysts, their industrial application still faces core technological bottlenecks. Firstly, charge separation efficiency is low. While the π-π conjugated structure in the COF molecular framework facilitates charge transport, the rapid recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the high resistance to interfacial charge transfer result in a large number of photogenerated charges becoming inactive before participating in the ORR / WOR reaction, severely limiting yield improvement. Secondly, the spectral response range is limited. The visible light absorption edge of most COFs is below 500 nm, and their utilization rate of near-infrared light, which accounts for more than 45% of the solar spectrum, is less than 5%, indicating a pressing need to improve light energy utilization efficiency. Furthermore, material stability and preparation costs are significant issues. COFs are prone to covalent bond breakage and structural collapse under strong oxidizing environments, and the monomer synthesis of high-performance COFs requires multiple organic reactions, making purification complex and resulting in high costs for large-scale preparation, thus limiting their overall performance and industrial application. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This invention also discloses a porphyrin-based COFs photocatalyst, the structural formula of which is: .
[0015] The present invention also discloses the application of the porphyrin-based COFs photocatalyst prepared by the above-mentioned method in the photocatalytic production of H2O2.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses a method for preparing porphyrin-based COF photocatalysts. The core principle is to simulate the ORR reaction in nature, converting O2 and H2O (or proton donors) into H2O2 through photogenerated charge separation and directional transfer. Both main monomers are nitrogen-containing units, with multiple active sites working synergistically to precisely regulate the two-electron ORR. In the 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin unit, the N atom (pyrrole N, pyridine N) of its porphyrin ring is a typical Lewis base site, which can strongly adsorb O2 molecules through lone pair electrons, providing an initial active site for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). At the same time, the large π-conjugated system of porphyrin is conducive to the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges. The polar bond formed by the B atom (electron-deficient) and F atom (strong electronegativity) in the structure of 4,4'-(10-(9-anthrayl)-5,5-difluoro-3,7-dimethyl-5H-4,5-dipyrrolo[1,2-c:2',1'-f][1,3,2](2,8-diazoboridyl)dibenzaldehyde can regulate the distribution of the surrounding electron cloud, optimize the O2 adsorption energy and intermediates. The stability of OOH directs ORR towards a two-electron pathway (generating H2O2 instead of H2O). Large π-conjugation and multi-level charge separation enhance quantum efficiency. It significantly broadens the light absorption range (covering the visible to near-infrared region) and accelerates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, reducing recombination probability and providing sufficient photogenerated electrons for ORR. The Schiff base bond (-N=CH-) between units serves as an excellent charge transport channel: ensuring rapid electron migration from the light-absorbing unit to the O2 adsorption active site, improving electron utilization. The donor-acceptor (DA) type COF improves photogenerated charge efficiency. The built-in power plant promotes the directional migration of photogenerated electrons from the donor to the acceptor, significantly reducing the electron-hole recombination probability, providing more effective electrons for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and significantly increasing the H2O2 generation rate. Ordered channels and high specific surface area enhance mass transfer and reaction kinetics. As a COF material, its periodic porous structure provides a high specific surface area, increasing the adsorption sites for O2 and proton donors (such as H2O and alcohols) on the one hand, and accelerating the desorption and diffusion of H2O2 products on the other, avoiding excessive reduction (decomposition into H2O) at active sites, thereby improving the selectivity and yield of H2O2. A porphyrin-based COF photocatalyst with a donor-acceptor structure was successfully synthesized through optimized low-temperature nitration, controllable coupling, and solvent-controlled preparation methods. This catalyst utilizes the synergistic effect of porphyrin and BODIPY units to construct multiple active sites (N, B, F) and highly efficient charge separation channels. Its broad-spectrum absorption and built-in electric field significantly suppress electron-hole recombination and precisely guide the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) along a two-electron path, thus achieving highly active, selective, and stable H2O2 production under visible light, overcoming the limitations of traditional photocatalysts in terms of efficiency, selectivity, and stability.
[0017] Furthermore, TPP and fuming nitric acid should be reacted at the lowest possible temperature to inhibit excessive nitration, control the degree of substitution, and avoid oxidation and destruction of the TPP main structure. In addition, this can also reduce the decomposition of nitric acid and ensure experimental safety.
[0018] Furthermore, the amount of CHCl3 used should ensure that TPP is completely dissolved and uniformly mixed to match the reaction rate with the separation efficiency.
[0019] Furthermore, the amount of fuming nitric acid used is determined based on the amount of TPP used to ensure that the product with the target degree of substitution is obtained, and to avoid over-substitution and the generation of by-products.
[0020] Furthermore, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, or methanol-water mixed solvents: moderate to very strong polarity, low boiling point, capable of efficiently dissolving polar / semi-polar products, their low boiling point facilitates post-processing, and they are low in toxicity and reactivity, making them suitable for most organic products.
[0021] Furthermore, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is used for coupling weakly active boric acids (such as arylboronic acids) with aryl halides, and TFA can promote the deprotonation of boric acids to form active species.
[0022] Furthermore, the metal valence state in the catalytic cycle was adjusted by regulating 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (oxidizing Pd(0) to Pd(II) to repair the catalytic cycle).
[0023] Furthermore, triethylamine is used to adjust the pH to ensure that the amount of trifluoroacetic acid is controlled within the range where the base can partially neutralize it; otherwise, excessive TFA will completely neutralize the base, leading to the interruption of the catalytic cycle.
[0024] Furthermore, BF3 in BF3·OEt2 is an electron-deficient Lewis acid, and the N atom of triethylamine has a lone pair of electrons, which can combine through coordinate bonds to form a stable complex (Et3N→BF3).
[0025] Furthermore, the light-avoidance reaction can minimize product deterioration.
[0026] Furthermore, selecting solvents with different solubilities is beneficial for the crystallization of COF.
[0027] Furthermore, anhydrous acetic acid can promote the condensation of aldehydes and amines to form imine bonds, and it also has good solubility for many aldehyde and amine monomers, which is beneficial for uniform reaction.
[0028] The porphyrin-based COF photocatalyst prepared by the method disclosed in this invention achieves efficient coupling of porphyrin and BODIPY units at the molecular level through a sophisticated donor-acceptor (DA) structure design. The built-in electric field greatly promotes the directional migration and separation of photogenerated electrons, effectively suppressing charge recombination. Simultaneously, the active sites within the framework, composed of nitrogen, boron, fluorine, and other heteroatoms, can precisely regulate the oxygen reduction reaction pathway, preferentially and selectively generating H2O2. Combined with its ordered pore structure, broad-spectrum absorption capacity, and the stability of its metal-organic framework, this catalyst ultimately achieves highly active, highly selective, and long-lifetime photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 under visible light, significantly outperforming traditional materials in overall performance.
[0029] The porphyrin-based COF photocatalyst prepared by the method disclosed in this invention has the following application in photocatalytic H2O2 production: the large π-conjugated system of porphyrin and anthracene ring and the DA-type structure (donor-porphyrin / anthracycline vs. acceptor-BODIPY) significantly broadens the light absorption range (covering the visible to near-infrared region). Furthermore, by driving the directional migration of photogenerated electrons from the donor to the acceptor through a built-in electric field, it significantly inhibits charge recombination, providing sufficient effective electrons for ORR. The porphyrin N atom and the B / F heteroatom of the BODIPY serve as active sites, adsorbing and activating O2 molecules through lone pair electrons or a polar microenvironment, directionally guiding ORR along a two-step, two-electron pathway (O2→ The process avoids the four-electron pathway for H2O generation (OOH→H2O2); simultaneously, the amino group and porous structure enhance proton transport, accelerating the supply of proton-electron pairs for H2O2 generation. This mechanism achieves high activity, high selectivity, and long-term stability, enabling efficient H2O2 production even under visible light. It overcomes the design limitations of traditional photocatalytic materials by synergistically innovating multiple active sites and a DA-type structure. Compared with existing metal-based catalysts, traditional COF, or semiconductor photocatalysts, this catalyst uses a multi-heteroatom (N, B, F) synergistic DA heterojunction as the active site. Driven by a built-in electric field, it achieves an extremely low charge recombination rate and efficiently absorbs photons in a wide spectral range from visible to near-infrared light, directionally guiding the oxygen reduction reaction along a two-electron pathway. At the same time, its organic framework is free of metal contamination and exhibits excellent cycle stability. It adopts a multi-unit integrated "full-process optimization" design paradigm, comprehensively overcoming the limitations of existing technologies such as "single metal site, severe charge recombination, low ORR selectivity, narrow light absorption, metal contamination, or easy degradation of structure" from active site, charge separation, reaction selectivity, light absorption range, stability, and environmental friendliness.
