Abstract
Developing photocatalysts featuring appropriate active sites and bandgaps for sustainable photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) remains a major challenge. Herein, novel porous organic polymers (denoted as SZ and MZ) based on benzothiazole and benzimidazole were constructed and utilized for photocatalytic production of H2O2 by virtue of their excellent photovoltaic properties and chemical stability. Under simulated sunlight, SZ exhibited noteworthy photocatalytic performance with a H2O2 production rate of 3109 μmol g−1 h−1 in water without sacrificial agent, and maintained high catalytic efficiency after six consecutive reactions. Similarly, MZ demonstrated an H2O2 production rate of 2700 μmol g−1 h−1. Furthermore, the mechanism of photocatalytic production of H2O2 by benzothiazole porous organic polymers (POPs) was further investigated, and the superiority of photocatalytic production of H2O2 by one-step two-electron oxygen reduction process was verified.
