Abstract
Sulfone-containing β-ketoenamine COFs (Covalent Organic Frameworks) with varying linker structures were synthesized using Tp as the backbone to investigate their photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Among them, TpTSN-COF, featuring extended π-conjugation and methyl groups, showed a stable hydrogen evolution rate of 6590 μmol g-1h−1 under visible light twice the rate of TpBS-COF (without methyl groups) and over 600 times higher than that of TpSDA-COF (without conjugate extension and methyl groups). The enhanced performance is attributed to reduced charge recombination via conjugate extension and improved charge transfer enabled by introduction of methyl group.
