Metal-Salphen covalent organic polymers for bifunctional electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis and oxygen evolution
Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of metal-salphen-based covalent organic polymers (MSalphen-COPs) through Schiff base condensation of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol and o-phenylenediamine in the presence of M(OAc)2·nH2O (M = Co, Ni, Cu). FTIR spectra confirm the successful formation of COPs via imine condensation while revealing an irreversible enol-keto tautomerization process that drives the structural evolution toward a thermodynamically stabilized framework. XPS analyses reveal that metal ions coordinate with deprotonated amine nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen moieties, deviating from conventional imine nitrogen/phenolate oxygen coordination in Metal-Salphen complexes. The electrocatalytic performance of MSalphen-COPs for nitrate/nitrite reduction (NOxRR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) exhibits strong metal-dependent trends, with CoSalphen-COP achieving exceptional activity. DFT calculations attribute cobalt’s superiority to its lowest barriers along catalytic cycles. Leveraging its bifunctionality, a CoSalphen-COP-based NO3RR||OER system demonstrates efficient NH3/O2 coproduction, validating its potential for sustainable electrochemical applications. This work establishes a paradigm for designing task-specific COPs through tailored metal-ligand coordination environments.
