The invention relates to an
ion-controllable COF catalyst, a preparation method and application of the
ion-controllable COF catalyst in photocatalytic
hydrogen production. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, mixing trialdehyde
phloroglucinol with an amino-containing
phenanthridine bromine salt, carrying out degassing treatment in the presence of a catalyst and a mixed
solvent, and sealing; step 2, carrying out
solvothermal reaction under a heating condition to obtain a precursor COF-Br containing
bromide ions; step 3, the precursor COF-Br is subjected to washing, purification and
drying treatment; and 4, dispersing the dried precursor COF-Br in a
salt solution containing target anions to carry out
ion exchange reaction, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation and
drying to obtain the ion-controllable COF catalyst. According to the method, a COF precursor containing a cation skeleton is constructed, and specific anions are introduced by utilizing an
ion exchange technology, so that the compounding of photo-induced electrons and holes is effectively inhibited, and the photocatalytic
hydrogen production efficiency is remarkably improved.
