Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a valuable chemical, is widely used as a powerful oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis, pharmaceuticals, medical disinfection, and environmental treatment industries. Currently, over 95% of H2O2 is produced industrially using the anthraquinone process, which is associated with its high energy consumption and hazardous byproducts. Therefore, the photochemical synthesis of H2O2 from water and oxygen using covalent organic framework based photocatalysts have attracted considerable attention. This review aims to outline recent achievements, challenges and future prospects of COFs as heterogeneous photocatalysts for sustainable H2O2 generation. We summarize the chronological development…
