A novel breakthrough in the invention, properties, synthesis of covalent heptazine framework for its sustainable applications

Abstract

The development of two-dimensional (2D) covalent heptazine frameworks (CHFs) using heptazine and other molecular elements is becoming more attractive due to their modifiable design and diverse features. In comparison to the conventional experiments approach in practical studies, computation modeling has the advantage of eliminating extraneous and ineffective efforts. This is possible because to the significant advancements in machine resources and more advanced theories, which ultimately leads to faster material formation. CHFs include beneficial features such as diverse synthetic alternatives, high dependability, non-toxicity, simplified organic arrangement, and enhanced structural organization. CHFs have unique properties that make them very suitable for many applications, including the photocatalytic evolution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), photocatalytic overall water splitting, photooxidation reaction, photoreduction reaction, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and selective CO₂ adsorption. In the present article, we provide a concise overview of the different techniques used for the synthesis of CHFs, along with their electronic and simulation characteristics, apparent properties, and potential applications. We plan to offer more information on frequently published photocatalytic processes, particularly their functional processes. To our knowledge, there is currently no review paper available on this dynamic and growing field. This publication will provide valuable scientific information and breakthroughs for material sciences and future researchers.
