Oxidation-Reduction Molecular Junction Covalent Organic Frameworks for Full Reaction Photosynthesis of H 2 O 2 .

The full reaction photosynthesis of H 2 O 2 that can combine water-oxidation and oxygen-reduction without sacrificial agents is highly demanded to maximize the light-utilization and overcome the complex reaction-process of anthraquinone-oxidation. Here, a kind of oxidation-reduction molecular junction covalent-organic-framework (TTF-BT-COF) has been synthesized through the covalent-coupling of tetrathiafulvalene (photo-oxidation site) and benzothiazole (photo-reduction site), which presents visible-light-adsorption region, effective electron-hole separation-efficiency and photo-redox sites that enables full reaction generation of H 2 O 2 . Specifically, a record-high yield (TTF-BT-COF, ≈276 000 μM h -1  g -1 ) for H 2 O 2 photosynthesis without sacrificial agents has been achieved among porous crystalline photocatalysts. This is the first work that can design oxidation-reduction molecular junction COFs for full reaction photosynthesis of H 2 O 2 , which might extend the scope of COFs in H 2 O 2 production.
