Abstract

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production via the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) provides a promising and energy-saving alternative to the traditional energy-intensive anthraquinone process. Nevertheless, how to decrease the energy barrier of the two-electron (2e–) ORR process and photosynthesize H2O2 efficiently is still challenging. Herein, three hydroxyl-functionalized donor–acceptor covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are synthesized for photocatalytic H2O2 production under visible-light irradiation (420 ≤ λ ≤ 780 nm). It is observed that the dihydroxyl functionalization (2,5-DhaTph and 2,3-DhaTph) facilitates the transportation of photogenerated carriers between acceptor and donor units and…
