A multicomponent triformylphoroglucinol-based covalent organic framework for overall hydrogen peroxide photosynthesis

Abstract

A multicomponent covalent organic framework (COF-Tfp-BpyDaaq) integrating bipyridine with diaminoanthraquinone through a triformylphoroglucinol linkage was synthesized for the first time as a photocatalyst for overall H₂O₂ photosynthesis. It exhibits enhanced photo-charge separation and H₂O₂ production rate over its two-component counterparts, demonstrating the pivotal role of multicomponent synthesis in designing efficient photocatalysts.
