Rational design of N-heterocyclic COF-based photocatalysts: synergistic metal–ligand coordination for efficient H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production
This study successfully constructed a Cd-COF with an N-Cd coordination structure <i>via</i> a one-step solvothermal method and demonstrated its application in photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production. The N-Cd coordination structure not only exhibits exceptional adsorption capacity for oxygen molecules, but also acts as an active center to provide electrons for the reduction reaction, thereby significantly accelerating the efficient generation of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Experimental results reveal that the N-Cd coordination structure optimizes the electronic structure and regulates the local microenvironment, leading to high-efficiency utilization of photogenerated electrons.
