This invention discloses methods for preparing pyridyl covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their
antimony (Sb) coordination compounds (TAPB-BTTA, TAPT-BTTA, TAPB-BTTA-Sb, and TAPT-BTTA-Sb), as well as the application of these compounds in photocatalytic
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), belonging to the field of
photocatalysis technology. This invention utilizes a molecular
engineering strategy, using specific amine and
aldehyde monomers as raw materials, to prepare TAPB-BTTA and TAPT-BTTA with pyridyl-
imine bidentate chelate sites via a
Schiff base reaction. Then, through a post-modification synthesis strategy, the main group
metal Sb atom is precisely anchored to the pyridyl-
imine coordination sites of the COF framework, forming atomically dispersed Sb-coordinated COF compounds. These materials, through bi-level regulation of
nitrogen and Sb
metal sites, optimize the H2O2 generation pathway into a highly efficient one-step two-
electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e... ‑ The ORR pathway significantly improves the separation efficiency and catalytic activity of photogenerated carriers, with the H2O2
generation rate of TAPT-BTTA-Sb reaching as high as 18399.72 μmol h⁻¹. ‑1 g ‑1 It also has excellent stability and
oxygen utilization, providing efficient materials and preparation methods for solar-driven clean H2O2 synthesis.
