Functionalized Modification of Conjugated Porous Polymers for Full Reaction Photosynthesis of H₂O₂

Abstract Modulating the molecular structure to achieve the full reaction including oxygen reduction reaction and water oxidation reaction is a promising strategy for efficient photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) but remains a challenge. Herein, a triphenylamine and naphthalimide‐based conjugated porous polymers are synthesized with photo oxidation‐reduction structures, then sulfonate (─SO 3 H) and quaternary ammonium groups are introduced via a post‐modification strategy to produce two photocatalysts named NI‐TPA‐NI‐SO 3 H and NI‐TPA‐NI‐N, respectively. Introducing charged functional groups has improved the hydrophilicity and oxygen (O 2 ) adsorption, beyond that, the ─SO 3 H further stabilizes the adsorbed O 2 via hydrogen bonding as well as accelerates the photogenerated carrier separation and electron/proton transport that enables full reaction photosynthesis of H 2 O 2 . Therefore, motivated by efficient charge separation, stabilized O 2 adsorption, and boosted proton‐coupled electron transfer, NI‐TPA‐NI‐SO 3 H exhibits the highest light‐driven H 2 O 2 production rate among the three photocatalysts, reaching 3.40 mmol g −1 h −1 , which is 4.9‐fold of NI‐TPA‐NI. Remarkably, in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, its rate significantly enhances to 14.5 mmol g −1 h −1 , superior to most reported organic photocatalysts to the best of the knowledge.
