Abstract
Selective and efficient dehydrogenation of neat formic acid (FA) under controlled conditions, eg. light, is important yet scarce. Herein, an organic-metal heterostructurre of COF-Cu was constructed by incorporation of Cu2+ with a covalent organic framework AQ-COF. COF-Cu showed a remarkable photocatalytic FA dehydrogenation activity, without any solvent or base additive. The optimal H2 evolution rate reached 190 mmol·g−1·h−1, surpassing most of the state-of-the-art catalyst. The significant performance enhancement of COF-Cu can be attributed to the effective charge transfer process occurring between AQ-COF and Cu2+. This study provides valuable insights for the design of efficient catalysts, crucial for advancing sustainable energy storage technologies.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
