Abstract

Abstract The direct use of flue gas for the electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction is desirable but severely limited by the thermodynamically favorable oxygen reduction reaction. Herein, a photonicswitching unit 1,2-Bis(5’-formyl-2’-methylthien-3’-yl)cyclopentene (DAE) is integrated into a cobalt porphyrin-based covalent organic framework for highly efficient CO 2 electrocatalysis under aerobic environment. The DAE moiety in the material can reversibly modulate the O 2 activation capacity and electronic conductivity by the framework ring-closing/opening reactions under UV/Vis irradiation. The DAE-based covalent organic framework with ring-closing type shows a high CO Faradaic efficiency of 90.5% with CO…
