Abstract
Linkage chemistry is an essential aspect to covalent organic framework (COF) applications; it is highly desirable to precisely modulate electronic structure mediated directly by linkage for efficient COF-based photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which however, remains substantially challenging. Herein, as a proof of concept, a collection of robust multicomponent pyrene-based COFs with abundant donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions has been judiciously designed and synthesized through molecularly engineering linkage for photogeneration of hydrogen. Controlled locking and conversion of linkage critically contribute to continuously regulating COFs' electronic structures further to optimize photocatalytic activities. Remarkably, the well-modulated optoelectronic properties turn on the average hydrogen evolution rate from zero to 15.67 mmol g-1 h-1 by the protonated quinoline-linked COF decorated with the trifluoromethyl group (TT-PQCOF-CF3). Using diversified spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, we show that multiple modifications toward linkage synergistically lead to the redistribution of charge on COFs with extended π-conjugation and reinforced D-A effect, making TT-PQCOF-CF3 a promising material with significantly boosted carrier separation and migration. This study provides important guidance for the design of high-performance COF photocatalysts based on the strategy of linkage-mediated electronic structure modulation in COFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising platforms for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their fascinating physiochemical properties. Rationally engineering the compositions and structures of MOFs can provide abundant opportunities for their optimization. In recent years, high-entropy materials (HEMs) have demonstrated great potential in the energy and environment fields. However, there is still no report on the development of high-entropy MOFs (HE-MOFs) for photocatalytic HER in aqueous solution. Herein, the authors report the synthesis of a novel p-type HE-MOFs single crystal (HE-MOF-SC) and the corresponding HE-MOFs nanosheets (HE-MOF-NS) capable of realizing visible-light-driven photocatalytic HER. Both HE-MOF-SC and HE-MOF-NS exhibit higher photocatalytic HER activity than all the single-metal MOFs, which are supposed to be ascribed to the interplay between the different metal nodes in the HE-MOFs that enables more efficient charge transfer. Moreover, impressively, the HE-MOF-NS demonstrates much higher photocatalytic activity than the HE-MOF-SC due to its thin thickness and enhanced surface area. At optimum conditions, the rate of H2 evolution on the HE-MOF-NS is ≈13.24 mmol h-1 g-1, which is among the highest values reported for water-stable MOF photocatalysts. This work highlights the importance of developing advanced high-entropy materials toward enhanced photocatalysis.

Abstract
Using water as a renewable and safe energy source for hydrogen generation has reduced the need to use toxic fossil fuels. Photocatalytic approaches provide a worthy solution to avoid the high expenditure on complicated electrochemical pathways to promote Hydrogen Evolution Reactions. However, several types of photocatalysts including noble metal-based catalysts have already been in use for this purpose, which are generally considered high-cost as well. The present study aims to use the benefits of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with semiconductor-like characteristics, highly porous structures and high design flexibility. These properties of MOFs allow more efficient and effective mass transport as well as exposure to light.in this paper, using MOF technology and benefiting from the characteristics of Fe3O4 nanoparticles as catalyst support for more efficient separation of catalyst, we have synthesized a novel composite. Our proposed photocatalyst demonstrates efficient harvest of light in all wavelengths from UV to visible to generate electron/hole pairs suitable for water splitting with a turnover frequency of 0.222 h-1 at ambient conditions without requiring any additives.

Abstract
Most of the porous materials used for acetylene/carbon dioxide separation have the problems of poor stability and high energy requirements for regeneration, which significantly hinder their practical application in industries. Here, we report a novel calcium-based metal-organic framework (NKM-123) with excellent chemical stability against water, acids, and bases. Additionally, it has exceptional thermal stability, retaining its structural integrity at temperatures up to 300 °C. This material exhibits promising potential for separating C2H2 and CO2 gases. Furthermore, it demonstrates an adsorption heat of 29.3 kJ mol-1 for C2H2, which is lower than that observed in the majority of MOFs used for C2H2/CO2 separations. The preferential adsorption of C2H2 over that of CO2 is confirmed by dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculations. In addition, the potential of industrial feasibility of NKM-123 for C2H2/CO2 separation is confirmed by transient breakthrough tests. The robust cycle performance and structural stability of NKM-123 during multiple breakthrough tests show great potential in the industrial separation of light hydrocarbons.

Nitrogen-Rich Triazine-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks as Efficient Visible Light Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Peroxide Production. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:643.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been widely used in photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production due to their favorable band structure and excellent light absorption. Due to the rapid recombination rate of charge carriers, however, their applications are mainly restricted. This study presents the design and development of two highly conjugated triazine-based COFs (TBP-COF and TTP-COF) and evaluates their photocatalytic H2O2 production performance. The nitrogen-rich structures and high degrees of conjugation of TBP-COF and TTP-COF facilitate improved light absorption, promote O2 adsorption, enhance their redox power, and enable the efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. There is thus an increase in the photocatalytic activity for the production of H2O2. When exposed to 10 W LED visible light irradiation at a wavelength of 420 nm, the pyridine-based TTP-COF produced 4244 μmol h-1 g-1 of H2O2 from pure water in the absence of a sacrificial agent. Compared to TBP-COF (1882 μmol h-1 g-1), which has a similar structure but lacks pyridine sites, TTP-COF demonstrated nearly 2.5 times greater efficiency. Furthermore, it exhibited superior performance compared to most previously published nonmetal COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen is a highly promising method to meet the surging energy consumption globally through the environmentally friendly means. As the initial step before photocatalysis, harvesting photons from sunlight is crucially important, thus making the design of photosensitizers with visible even near-infrared (NIR) absorptions get more and more attentions. In the past three years, organic donor/acceptor (D/A) heterojunctions with absorptions extending to 950 nm, have emerged as the new star light-harvesting materials for photocatalytic water splitting, demonstrating exciting advantages over inorganic materials in solar light utilization, hydrogen yielding rate, etc. This Minireview firstly gives a brief discussion about the principle processes and determining factors for photocatalytic water splitting with organic photovoltaic D/A heterojunction as photosensitizers. Thereafter, the current progress is summarized in details by introducing typical and excellent D/A heterojunction-based photocatalytic systems. Finally, not only the great prospects but also the most challenging issues confronted by organic D/A heterojunctions are indicated along with a perspective on the opportunities and new directions for future material explorations.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have garnered attention in photocatalysis due to their unique features including extensive surface area, adjustable pores, and the ability to incorporate various functional groups. However, challenges such as limited visible light absorption and rapid electron-hole recombination often hinder their photocatalytic efficiency. Recent developments have introduced plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) and junctions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MOFs/COFs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in MOF/COF-based photocatalysts improved by integration of plasmonic NPs and junctions. We begin by examining the utilization of plasmonic NPs, known for absorbing longer-wavelength light compared to typical MOFs/COFs. These NPs exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) when excited, effectively enhancing the photocatalytic performance of MOFs/COFs. Moreover, we discuss the role of homo/hetero-junctions in facilitating charge separation, further boosting the photocatalytic performance of MOFs/COFs. The mechanisms behind the improved photocatalytic performance of these composites are discussed, along with an assessment of challenges and opportunities in the field, guiding future research directions.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have a broad prospect to be used as a photocatalytic platform to convert solar energy into valuable chemicals due to their tunable structures and rich active catalytic sites. However, constructing COFs with tuned sp2-carbon donor-acceptor moiety remains an enormous challenge. Herein, we synthesized two new fully π-conjugated cyano-ethylene-linked COFs containing benzotrithiophene as functional group by Knoevenagel polycondensation reaction. The accetpor 2,2'-bipyridine unit in BTT-BpyDAN-COF skeleton favored the formation of a intermolecular specific electron transport pathway with the donor benzotrithiophene, and thereby promoted charge separation and transfer efficiency. Specifically, a donor-acceptor (D-A) type BTT-BpyDAN-COF exhibited high hydrogen evolution rate of 10.1 mmol g-1h-1 and an excellent apparent quantum efficiency of 4.83 % under visible light irradiation.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials serving as photocatalysts favor providing abundant unsaturated active sites and shortening the charge transport distance, but the high surface energy readily causes the aggregation that limits their application. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2D covalent organic framework (COF) TpBD nanosheets are effective in the dispersion and stabilization of 0D Ni(OH)2 . The COF precursor TpBD is synthesized from the Schiff base condensation of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) and exfoliated into 2D nanosheets named BDNs via ultrasonication. The formation of highly dispersive 0D Ni(OH)2 on BDNs is reached under a mild weak basic condition, enabling robust active sites for CO2 adsorption/activation and rapid interface cascaded electron transport channels for the accumulation of long-lived photo-generated charges. The champion catalyst 30%Ni-BDNs effectively catalyze the CO2 to CO conversion under visible-light irradiation, offering a high CO evolution rate of 158.4 mmol g-1 h-1 and turnover frequency of 51 h-1 . By contrast, the counterpart photocatalyst, the bulk TpBD stabilized Ni(OH)2 , affords a much lower CO evolution rate and selectivity. This work demonstrates a new avenue to simultaneously construct efficient active sites and electron transport channels by coupling 0D metal hydroxides and 2D COF nanosheets for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen generation via water decomposition is a promising avenue in the pursuit of large-scale, cost-effective renewable hydrogen energy generation. However, the design of an efficient photocatalyst plays a crucial role in achieving high yields in hydrogen generation. Herein, we have engineered a fullerene-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(octyloxy)copper phthalocyanine (C60-CuPcOC8) photocatalyst, achieving both efficient hydrogen generation and high stability. The significant donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions facilitate the efficient electron transfer from CuPcOC8 to C60. The rate of photocatalytic hydrogen generation for C60-CuPcOC8 is 8.32 mmol·g-1·h-1, which is two orders of magnitude higher than the individual C60 and CuPcOC8. The remarkable increase in hydrogen generation activity can be attributed to the development of a robust internal electric field within the C60-CuPcOC8 assembly. It is 16.68 times higher than that of the pure CuPcOC8. The strong internal electric field facilitates the rapid separation within 0.6 ps, enabling photogenerated charge transfer efficiently. Notably, the hydrogen generation efficiency of C60-CuPcOC8 remains above 95%, even after 10 h, showing its exceptional photocatalytic stability. This study provides critical insight into advancing the field of photocatalysis.

Abstract
Water plays a vital role in all aspects of life. Recently, water pollution has increased exponentially due to various organic and inorganic pollutants. Organic pollutants are hard to degrade; therefore, cost-effective and sustainable approaches are needed to degrade these pollutants. Organic dyes are the major source of organic pollutants from coloring industries. The photoactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer an ultimate strategy for constructing photocatalysts to degrade pollutants present in wastewater. Therefore, tuning the metal ions/clusters and organic ligands for the better photocatalytic activity of MOFs is a tremendous approach for wastewater treatment. This review comprehensively reports various MOFs and their composites, especially POM-based MOF composites, for the enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in the aqueous phase. A brief discussion on various theoretical aspects such as density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) related to MOF and MOF composite-based photocatalysts has been presented. Thus, this article may eventually pave the way for applying different structural features to modulate novel porous materials for enhanced photodegradation properties toward organic pollutants.

Abstract
Most attempts to synthesize supramolecular nanosystems are limited to a single mechanism, often resulting in the formation of nanomaterials that lack diversity in properties. Herein, hierarchical assemblies with appropriate variety are fabricated in bulk via a superstructure-induced organic-inorganic hybrid strategy. The dynamic balance between substructures and superstructures is managed using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as dual building blocks to regulate the performances of hierarchical assemblies. Significantly, the superstructures resulting from the controlled cascade between COFs and MOFs create highly active photocatalytic systems through multiple topologies. Our designed tandem photocatalysis can precisely and efficiently regulate the conversion rates of bioactive molecules (benzo[d]imidazoles) through competing redox pathways. Furthermore, benzo[d]imidazoles catalyzed by such supramolecular nanosystems can be isolated in yields ranging from 70 % to 93 % within tens of minutes. The multilayered structural states within the supramolecular systems demonstrate the importance of hierarchical assemblies in facilitating photocatalytic propagation and expanding the structural repertoire of supramolecular hybrids.

Abstract
The increasing energy demands in society and industrial sectors have inspired the search for alternative energy sources that are renewable and sustainable, also driving the development of clean energy storage and delivery systems. Various solid-state materials (e.g., oxides, sulphides, polymer and conductive nanomaterials, activated carbon and their composites) have been developed for energy production (water splitting-H2 production), gaseous fuel (H2 and CH4) storage and electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) applications. Nevertheless, the low surface area, pore volume and conductivity, and poor physical and chemical stability of the reported materials have resulted in higher requirements and challenges in the development of energy production and energy storage technologies. Thus, to overcome these issues, the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted significant attention. MOFs are a class of porous materials with extremely high porosity and surface area, structural diversity, multifunctionality, and chemical and structural stability, and thus they can be used in a wide range of applications. In the present review, we precisely discuss the interesting properties of MOFs and the various methodologies for their synthesis, and also the future dependence on the valorization of solid waste for the recovery of metals and organic ligands for the synthesis of new classes of MOFs. Subsequently, the utilization of these interesting characteristics for energy production (water splitting), storage of gaseous fuels (H2 and CH4), and electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors) applications are described. However, although MOFs are efficient materials with versatile uses, they still have many challenges, limiting their practical applications. Therefore, finally, we highlight the challenges associated with MOFs and show the way forward in overcoming them for the development of these highly porous materials with large-scale practical utility.

Abstract
Non-platinum noble metals are highly desirable for the development of highly active, stable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts for fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, how to improve the utilization of non-platinum noble metals is an urgent issue. Herein, a highly efficient catalyst for ORR was prepared through homogeneous loading of Pd precursors by a domain-limited method in a three-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) followed by pyrolysis. The morphology of the Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) was well maintained after carbonization, which was attributed to the rigid structure of the 3D COF. Thanks to the uniform distribution of Pd NPs in the carbon, the catalyst exhibited a remarkable half-wave potential of 0.906 V and a Tafel slope of 70 mV dec-1 in 0.1 M KOH, surpassing the commercial Pt/C catalyst (0.863 V and 75 mV dec-1 ). Furthermore, a maximum power density of 144.0 mW cm-2 was achieved at 252 mA cm-2 , which was significantly higher than the control battery (105.1 mW cm-2 ). This work not only provides a simple strategy for in-situ preparation of highly dispersible metal catalysts in COFs, but also offers new insights into the ORR electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Insights into the relationship between the crystal structure and activity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are meaningful to investigate the potential properties of pristine MOFs for targeted catalytic reactions. Herein, we develop a high-efficiency method for boosting the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) activity of Ti-MOF in the presence of H+. The ODS activity of pristine Ti-MOF prepared via a solvothermal approach is very poor at a low reaction temperature but can be enhanced in the presence of H+. Ti-MOF in the presence of H+ shows ultrahigh ODS activity that can eliminate 1000 ppm sulfur after 7 min at 30 °C with no catalytic activity loss after recycling 11 times. The turnover frequency value reaches 12.4 h-1 at 30 °C, surpassing all the previously reported Ti-MOFs as ODS catalysts even at high temperatures. Characterization and quenching experimental results indicate that more uncoordinated Ti sites can be formed from slight damage to the structure of Ti-MOF during the catalytic reaction, and such exposed Ti sites can easily react with H+ and H2O2 to form Ti-hydroperoxo active species that determine the upgradation of ODS activity. This work provides a significant way to upgrade the catalytic activity of pristine Ti-MOFs for future application.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been proved as efficient catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution, thanks to their tunable functionalities, permanent porosity, excellent visible light response, and physicochemical stability. Herein, a series of photocatalysts (termed NUBC) was fabricated by loading different amounts of Zr-UiO-66-NH2 (NU) onto a benzoic acid-modified covalent triazine-based framework (BC) based on post-synthetic covalent modification. The resulting NUBC catalysts exhibited a type-II Z-scheme heterojunction structure formed via the amide covalent bonds between the amine groups on NU and carboxyl groups on BC. The optimal loading of NU on BC is 30 wt.% (30NUBC) and the corresponding photocatalytic H2 evolution rate was 378 μmol h-1 g-1, almost 445 and 2 times than that of NU and BC, respectively. The synergistic effect between the type-II Z-scheme heterojunctions and amide bonds was conducive to boosting visible light harvesting and facilitating charge transportation and separation. Furthermore, the prepared NUBC catalysts show great reusability and stability. Overall, this work sheds light on the design of novel MOF/COF hybrid materials and provides a systematic exploration of their photocatalytic H2 evolution properties.

Abstract
Vinylsilanes are valuable building blocks and important structural units in organic chemistry. Herein, catalytic alkyne hydrosilylation was reported to be promoted by a porphyrin metal-organic framework with the incorporation of Pd nanoparticles (Pd@Ir-PCN-222). Catalytic results showed that Pd@Ir-PCN-222 displayed high catalytic efficiency, giving rise to the E isomer vinylsilane with an excellent turnover frequency (TOF) of 2564 h-1. The mechanism studies revealed that the enhancement of the catalytic activity originated from the cooperation between iridium porphyrin and the Pd nanoparticle in confined spaces. The iridium porphyrin was prone to absorb and condense the hydrosilane and alkyne in the inner cavities of Ir-PCN-222, not only accelerating the reaction but also promoting the Pd nanoparticle to activate the Si-H and C≡C bonds of hydrosilane and alkyne, respectively.

Abstract
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) have become a highly sought-after research domain that offers a promising avenue for developing cutting-edge nanostructured materials, both in their pristine state and when subjected to various chemical and structural modifications. Metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks are examples of these emerging materials that have gained significant attention due to their unique properties, such as high crystallinity, intrinsic porosity, unique structural regularity, diverse functionality, design flexibility, and outstanding stability. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art research on base-stable POFs, emphasizing the distinct pros and cons of reticular framework nanoparticles compared to other types of nanocluster materials. Thereafter, the review highlights the unique opportunity to produce multifunctional tailoring nanoparticles to meet specific application requirements. It is recommended that this potential for creating customized nanoparticles should be the driving force behind future synthesis efforts to tap the full potential of this multifaceted material category.

Abstract
Intensifying energy crises and severe environmental issues have led to the discovery of renewable energy sources, sustainable energy conversion, and storage technologies. Photocatalysis is a green technology that converts eco-friendly solar energy into high-energy chemicals. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous materials constructed by covalent bonds that show promising potential for converting solar energy into chemicals owing to their pre-designable structures, high crystallinity, and porosity. Herein, we highlight recent progress in the synthesis of COF-based photocatalysts and their applications in water splitting, CO2 reduction, and H2 O2 production. The challenges and future opportunities for the rational design of COFs for advanced photocatalysts are discussed. This Review is expected to promote further development of COFs toward photocatalysis.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, lacking effective strategies for classifying ACS hinders the prognosis improvement of ACS patients. Disclosing the nature of metabolic disorders holds the potential to reflect disease progress and high-throughput mass spectrometry-based metabolic analysis is a promising tool for large-scale screening.

Abstract
Developing a photosensitizer with high efficiency and long-term stability for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is highly desirable yet remains a challenge. Herein, a novel Ir(III) complex-based photosensitizer (Ir3) bearing coumarin and triphenylamine groups is designed. Ir3 exhibits record activity and durability among reported transition metal complexes for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, with a TON of 198,363 and a duration of 214 h. The excellent photocatalytic performance of Ir3 can be attributed to the synergistic effect of coumarin and triphenylamine, which improves the visible light absorption, charge separation, and electron transfer capacity of photosensitizers. This is an efficient and long-lived Ir(III) photosensitizer constructed on the basis of a synergistic approach, which could provide a new insight for the development of high-performance Ir(III) photosensitizers at the molecular level.

Abstract
The development of sp2 -carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp2 c-COFs) as artificial photocatalysts for solar-driven conversion of CO2 into chemical feedstock has captured growing attention, but catalytic performance has been significantly limited by their intrinsic organic linkages. Here, a simple, yet efficient approach is reported to improve the CO2 photoreduction on metal-free sp2 c-COFs by rationally regulating their intrinsic π-conjugation. The incorporation of ethynyl groups into conjugated skeletons affords a significant improvement in π-conjugation and facilitates the photogenerated charge separation and transfer, thereby boosting the CO2 photoreduction in a solid-gas mode with only water vapor and CO2 . The resultant CO production rate reaches as high as 382.0 µmol g-1 h-1 , ranking at the top among all additive-free CO2 photoreduction catalysts. The simple modulation approach not only enables to achieve enhanced CO2 reduction performance but also simultaneously gives a rise to extend the understanding of structure-property relationship and offer new possibilities for the development of new π-conjugated COF-based artificial photocatalysts.

Abstract
High-efficiency photocatalysts based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are often limited by poor charge separation and slow charge-transfer kinetics. Herein, a novel MOF photocatalyst is successfully constructed by encapsulating C60 into a nano-sized zirconium-based MOF, NU-901. By virtue of host-guest interactions and uneven charge distribution, a substantial electrostatic potential difference is set-up in C60 @NU-901. The direct consequence is a robust built-in electric field, which tends to be 10.7 times higher in C60 @NU-901 than that found in NU-901. In the catalyst, photogenerated charge carriers are efficiently separated and transported to the surface. For example, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaches 22.3 mmol g-1 h-1 for C60 @NU-901, which is among the highest values for MOFs. Our concept of enhancing charge separation by harnessing host-guest interactions constitutes a promising strategy to design photocatalysts for efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a novel class of crystalline inorganic-organic hybrid materials with tunable semiconducting behavior. MOFs have potential for application in photocatalysis to produce sustainable solar fuels, owing to their unique structural advantages (such as clarity and modifiability) that can facilitate a deeper understanding of the structure-activity relationship in photocatalysis. This review takes the photocatalytic active sites as a particular perspective, summarizing the progress of MOF-based photocatalysis for solar fuel production; mainly including three categories of solar-chemical conversions, photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen fuel, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to hydrocarbon fuels, and photocatalytic nitrogen fixation to high-energy fuel carriers such as ammonia. This review focuses on the types of active sites in MOF-based photocatalysts and discusses their enhanced activity based on the well-defined structure of MOFs, offering deep insights into MOF-based photocatalysis.

Abstract
Thermal stability and thermodynamic properties of aluminum(III)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (Al-BTC) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including MIL-96, MIL-100, and MIL-110, have been investigated through a suite of calorimetric and X-ray techniques. In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) revealed that these MOFs undergo thermal amorphization prior to ligand combustion. Thermal stabilities of Al-BTC MOFs follow the increasing order MIL-110 < MIL-96 < MIL-100, based on estimated amorphization temperatures. Their thermodynamic stabilities were directly measured by high-temperature drop combustion calorimetry. Normalized (per mole of Al) enthalpies of formation (ΔH*f) of MIL-96, MIL-100, and MIL-110 from Al2O3, H3BTC, and H2O (only Al2O3 and H3BTC for MIL-100) were determined to be -56.9 ± 13.7, -36.2 ± 17.9, and 62.8 ± 11.6 kJ/mol·Al, respectively. Our results demonstrate that MIL-96 and MIL-100 are thermodynamically favorable, while MIL-110 is metastable, in agreement with thermal and hydrothermal stability trends. The enthalpic preferences of MIL-96 and MIL-100 may be attributed to their shared trinuclear μ3-oxo-bridged (Al3(μ3-O)) secondary building units (SBUs) promoting stabilization of Al polyhedra by the ligands within these frameworks, in comparison to the sterically strained Al8 octamer cluster cores formed in MIL-110. Furthermore, similar ΔH*f of MIL-96 and MIL-100 explain their concurrent formation as physical mixtures often encountered during synthesis, implying the importance of kinetic factors that may facilitate the formation of Al-BTC framework isomers. More importantly, the normalized formation enthalpies of Al-BTC MOF isomers follow a negative correlation with the ratio of charged coordinated substituents to linkers (normalized per mole of Al within the MOF formula unit), with enthalpic preference given to systems with smaller (O2- + OH-)/ligand ratios. This trend has been successfully extended to the previously measured ΔH*f of several Zn4O-based frameworks (e.g., MOF-5, MOF-5(DEF), MOF-177, UMCM-1), all of which have been found to be metastable with respect to their dense phases (ZnO, H2O, and ligands). The result suggests that carboxylate MOFs with higher metal coordination environments attain more enthalpic stabilization from the coordinated ligands. Thus, the formation of some lanthanide/actinide, transition metal, and main group carboxylate frameworks may be energetically more favored, which, however, requires further studies.

Abstract
In the context of energy crisis and global warming, developing clean and sustainable energy is receiving increasing attention. Photocatalytic process including water splitting, CO2 reduction, coenzyme regeneration, etc., provides an ideal way to utilize renewable solar resources. The photocatalyst plays a central role in photocatalytic processes. Organic porous polymers have recently gained extensive attention in photocatalysis. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as one of the organic porous polymers, have the characteristics of high crystallinity, porosity and structural designability that make them perfect platforms for photocatalysis. In this minireview, the recent progresses of 2D COFs as photocatalysts were summarized including our recent work. The synthesis of the diversified structures of the COFs including the different linkages was first introduced. Then, the photocatalytic applications of the 2D COFs including photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, CO2 conversion, coenzyme regeneration and other traditional organic reaction were then discussed. Finally, conclusions and prospects were provided in the last section. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Construction of porous metal-organic framework (MOF)/covalent organic framework (COF) hybrid photocatalysts for enriched structures and unprecedented properties is still a great challenge but highly desirable. Herein, a new series of Cu3(HHTP)2-MOF/Tp-Pa-1-COF hybrids with different MOF content are successfully fabricated. The as-prepared MOF/COF hybrids exhibit intimate interaction based on the coordination of Cu ions with the carbonyl oxygen and enamine nitrogen groups in Tp-Pa-1. The integrated conductive Cu3(HHTP)2 is able to act as an excellent electron extractor instead of noble metal cocatalysts to significantly promote the charge transfer and inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. As a results, the optimized photocatalyst with Cu3(HHTP)2:Tp-Pa-1 ratio of 1:15 achieves the highest hydrogen evolution rate of 1.76 mmol·h-1·g-1 under visible-light irradiation, which is about 93 times higher than that of the pure Tp-Pa-1 and even slightly higher than that of the Tp-Pa-1 with Pt (3 wt %) as a cocatalyst.
