Abstract
As an alternative to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by complex anthraquinone oxidation process, photosynthesis of H2O2 from water and oxygen without sacrificial agents is highly demanded. Herein, a covalently connected molecular heterostructure is synthesized via sequential C-H arylation and Knoevenagel polymerization reactions for visible-light and sacrificial-agent-free H2O2 synthesis. The subsequent copolymerization of the electron-deficient benzodithiophene-4,8-dione (BTD) and the electron-rich biphenyl (B) and p-phenylenediacetonitrile (CN) not only expands the π-conjugated domain but also increases the molecular dipole moment, which largely promotes the separation and transfer of the photoinduced charge carriers. The optimal heterostructured BTDB-CN0.2 manifested an impressive photocatalytic H2O2 production rate of 1920 μmol g-1 h-1, which is 2.2 and 11.6 times that of BTDB and BTDCN. As revealed by the femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and theoretical calculations, the linkage serves as a channel for the rapid transfer of photogenerated charge carriers, enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency. Further, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) uncovers that the oxygen reduction reaction occurs through the step one-electron pathway and the mutual conversion between C=O and C-OH with the anchoring of H+ during the catalysis favored the formation of H2O2. This work provides a novel perspective for the design of efficient organic photocatalysts.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a hopeful alternative to the industrial anthraquinone process. However, rational fabrication of the photocatalysts for the production of H2O2 without any sacrificial agents is still a formidable challenge. Herein, two kinds of linear conjugated polymers (LCPs) including pyridinic N functionalized polymer (DEB-N2) and pyridinic N non-contained polymer (DEB-N0) were successfully synthesized. DEB-N2 displays enhanced light capturing ability and good dispersion in water, leading to a substantial initial H2O2 generation rate of 3492μmol g-1h-1 as well as remarkable photocatalytic stability in pure water. Furthermore, the temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and density functional theory (DFT) analysis reveal that highly electronegative pyridine-N atoms in DEB-N2 boost the adsorption affinity of oxygen molecules, which facilitates the occurrence of the oxygen reduction reaction, therefore enhancing the performance of photocatalytic H2O2 production. This study unveils that the presence of pyridinic N in DEB-N2 has a significant impact on photocatalytic H2O2 production, suggesting the precise manipulation of the chemical structure of polymer photocatalysts is essential to achieve efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Circumventing the conventional two-electron oxygen reduction pathway remains a great problem in enhancing the efficiency of H2O2 photosynthesis. A promising approach to achieve outstanding photocatalytic activity involves the utilization of redox intermediates. Here, we engineer a polyimide aerogel photocatalyst with photoreductive carbonyl groups for non-sacrificial H2O2 production. Under photoexcitation, carbonyl groups on the photocatalyst surface are reduced, forming an anion radical intermediate. The produced intermediate is oxidized by O2 to produce H2O2 and subsequently restores the carbonyl group. The high catalytic efficiency is ascribed to a photocatalytic redox cycle mediated by the radical anion, which not only promotes oxygen adsorption but also lowers the energy barrier of O2 reduction reaction for H2O2 generation. An apparent quantum yield of 14.28% at 420 ± 10 nm with a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.92% is achieved. Moreover, we demonstrate that a mere 0.5 m2 self-supported polyimide aerogel exposed to natural sunlight for 6 h yields significant H2O2 production of 34.3 mmol m-2.

Abstract
Two-dimensional porphyrin-based covalent-organic frameworks (2D-por-COFs) have gained significant attention as attractive platforms for efficient solar light conversion into hydrogen production. Herein, it is found that introducing transition metal zinc and polyethylene glycol (PEG) into 2D-por-COFs can effectively improve the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of ZnPor-COF is 2.82 times higher than that of H2Por-COF. Moreover, ZnPor-COF@PEG has the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency, which is 1.31 and 3.7 times that of pristine ZnPor-COF and H2Por-COF, respectively. The filling of PEG makes the layered structure of COFs more stable. PEG reduces the distortion and deformation of the carbon skeleton after the experiment of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The layered stacking and crystallization of 2D-por-COFs are also enhanced. Meanwhile, the presence of PEG also accelerates the transfer of excited electrons and enhances the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. This strategy will provide valuable insights into the design of 2D-por-COFs as efficient solid photocatalysts for solar-driven hydrogen production.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2709.

Abstract
The visible-light-driven photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is currently an emerging approach for transforming solar energy into chemical energy. In general, the photocatalytic process for producing H2O2 includes two pathways: the water oxidation reaction (WOR) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the utilization efficiency of ORR surpasses that of WOR, leading to a discrepancy with the low oxygen levels in natural water and thereby impeding their practical application. Herein, we report a novel donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A) organic polymer conjugated by the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction with tetraphenylethene (TPE) units as the electron donors, acetylene (A) as the connectors and pyrene (P) moieties as the electron acceptors. Notably, the resulting TPE-A-P exhibits a remarkable solar-to-chemical conversion of 1.65% and a high BET-specific surface area (1132 m2·g-1). Furthermore, even under anaerobic conditions, it demonstrates an impressive H2O2 photosynthetic efficiency of 1770 μmol g-1 h-1, exceeding the vast majority of previously reported photosynthetic systems of H2O2. The outstanding performance is attributed to the effective separation of electrons and holes, along with the presence of sufficient reaction sites facilitated by the incorporation of alkynyl electronic bridges. This protocol presents a successful method for generating H2O2 via a water oxidation reaction, signifying a significant advancement towards practical applications in the natural environment.

Abstract
Achieving O2 photoreduction to H2O2 with high selectivity control and durability while using easily accessible catalyst requires new synthesis strategies. Herein, we propose an asymmteric Sb coordination active center strategy of introducing anthraquinone (AQ) and heptazine to form local N3 - Sb - O coordination by a rapid and simple explosive crystallization approach, resulting in a mesoporous conjugated heptazine-amide-AQ polymer coordinated Sb (HAAQ-Sb). It is demonstrated that the N3 - Sb - O coordination effectively suppresses the charge recombination and acts as the highly active site for O2 adsorption. Moreover, as-introduced AQ units initiate low-barrier hydrogen transfer through a reversible redox process that triggers highly-efficient H2O2 production. A superior apparent quantum yield of 20.2 % at 400 nm and a remarkable solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.71 % are achieved on the optimal HAAQ-Sb, which is the highest among C3N4-based photocatalysts at present. This asymmetric coordination concept and material design method provide new perspectives for the research of novel catalysts toward artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic synthesis based on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has shown great promise for H2O2 production. However, the low activity and selectivity of 2e- ORR result in a fairly low efficiency of H2O2 production. Herein, we propose a strategy to enhance the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process in covalent organic frameworks (COFs), thereby significantly boosting H2O2 photosynthesis. We demonstrated that the construction of a hydrogen-bonding network, achieved by anchoring the H3PO4 molecular network on COF nanochannels, can greatly improve both proton conductivity and photogenerated charge separation efficiency of COFs. Thus, COF@H3PO4 exhibited superior photocatalytic performance in generating H2O2 without sacrificial agents, with a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency as high as 0.69%. Results indicated that a much more localized spatial distribution of energy band charge density on COF@H3PO4 led to efficient charge separation, and the small energy barrier of the rate-limiting step from *OOH to H2O2 endowed COF@H3PO4 with higher 2e- ORR selectivity.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising photocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) synthesis. However, the nature of organic polymers makes the balance between high activity and stability challenging. We demonstrate that the linkage position matters in the design of robust COF photocatalysts with durable high activity without sacrificial reagents. COFs with ortho- and para-linkages (o-COFs and p-COFs) were constructed by 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol with benzene-, pyridine-, pyrazine-orthodiamines and paradiamines. The pyrzaine-containing o-COFs with two pyridinic nitrogen atoms exhibited a H2O2 production rate of 4396 μmol g-1 h-1 together with long-time continuous H2O2 photosynthesis performance in pure water (48 h), superior to the corresponding p-COFs. A four-step reaction mechanism is proposed by density function calculations. Moreover, the active sites and origin of stability enhancement for o-COFs are clarified. This work provides a simple and effective molecular design strategy in the design of robust COF photocatalysts for artificial H2O2 photosynthesis.

Abstract
The solar-driven photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from water and oxygen using semiconductor catalysts offers a promising approach for converting solar energy into storable chemical energy. However, the efficiency of photocatalytic H2O2 production is often restricted by the low photo-generated charge separation, slow surface reactions and inadequate stability. Here, we developed a mixed-linker strategy to build a donor-acceptor-acceptor (D-A-A) type covalent organic framework (COF) photocatalyst, FS-OHOMe-COF. The FS-OHOMe-COF structure features extended π-π conjugation that improves charge mobility, while the introduction of sulfone units not only as active sites facilitates surface reactions with water but also bolsters stability through increased interlayer forces. The resulting FS-OHOMe-COF has a low exciton binding energy, long excited-state lifetime and high photo-stability that leads to high performance for photocatalytic H2O2 production (up to 1.0 mM h-1) with an H2O2 output of 19 mM after 72 hours of irradiation. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrates high stability, which sustained activity over 192 hours of photocatalytic experiment.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells provide a promising solution for the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Herein, an integrated photocathode of p-type BiVO4 (p-BVO) array with tetragonal zircon structure coupled with different metal oxide (MOx, M = Sn, Ti, Ni, and Zn) heterostructure and NiNC cocatalyst (p-BVO/MOx/NiNC) was synthesized for the PEC oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in production of H2O2. The p-BVO/SnO2/NiNC array achieves the production rate 65.46 μmol L-1 h-1 of H2O2 with a Faraday efficiency (FE) of 76.12%. Combined with the H2O2 generation of water oxidation from the n-type Mo-doped BiVO4 (n-Mo:BVO) photoanode, the unbiased photoelectrochemical cell composed of a p-BVO/SnO2/NiNC photocathode and n-Mo:BVO photoanode achieves a total FE of 97.67% for H2O2 generation. The large area BiVO4-based tandem cell of 3 × 3 cm2 can reach a total H2O2 production yield of 338.84 μmol L-1. This work paves the way for the rational design and fabrication of artificial photosynthetic cells for the production of liquid solar fuel.

Abstract
Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs), recognized for their tailorable structures and accessible active sites, offer a promising platform for developing advanced photocatalysts. However, the difficulty in the synthesis and functionalization of 3D COFs hinders their further development. In this study, we present a series of 3D-bcu-COFs with 8 connected porphyrin units linked by linear linkers through imine bonds as a versatile platform for photocatalyst design. The photoresponse of 3D-bcu-COFs was initially modulated by functionalizing linear linkers with benzo-thiadiazole or benzo-selenadiazole groups. Furthermore, taking advantage of the well-exposed porphyrin and imine sites in 3D-bcu-COFs, their photocatalytic activity was optimized by stepwise protonation of imine bonds and porphyrin centers. The dual protonated COF with benzo-selenadiazole groups exhibited enhanced charge separation, leading to an increased photocatalytic H2O2 production under visible light. This enhancement demonstrates the combined benefits of linker functionalization and stepwise protonation on photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Removing organic micropollutants from water through photocatalysis is hindered by catalyst instability and substantial residuals from incomplete mineralization. Here, a novel water treatment paradigm, the unified heterogeneous self-Fenton process (UHSFP), which achieved an impressive 32% photon utilization efficiency at 470 nm, and a significant 94% mineralization of organic micropollutants-all without the continual addition of oxidants and iron ions is presented. In UHSFP, the active species differs fundamentally from traditional photocatalytic processes. One electron acceptor unit of photocatalyst acquires only one photogenerated electron to convert into oxygen-centered organic radical (OCOR), then spontaneously completing subsequent processes, including pollutant degradation, hydrogen peroxide generation, activation, and mineralization of organic micropollutants. By bolstering electron-transfer capabilities and diminishing catalyst affinity for oxygen in the photocatalytic process, the generation of superoxide radicals is effectively suppressed, preventing detrimental attacks on the catalyst. This study introduces an innovative and cost-effective strategy for the efficient and stable mineralization of organic micropollutants, eliminating the necessity for continuous chemical inputs, providing a new perspective on water treatment technologies.

Abstract
Constructing stable and efficient photocatalysts for H2O2 production is of great importance and is challenging. In this study, the synthesis of three photoactive cyclooctatetrathiophene (COTh)-based porous aromatic frameworks (COTh-PAFs) in an alternating donor-acceptor (D-A) fashion is presented. In combination with a triazine-derived electron acceptor, PAF-363 exhibits high efficiency for the photosynthesis of H2O2 with production rates of 11733 μmol g-1 h-1(with sacrificial agent) and 3930 μmol g-1 h-1 (without sacrificial agent) from water and oxygen under visible light irradiation. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the charge transfer positions and the O2 adsorption sites in PAF-363 are both concentrated on COTh fragments, which facilitate the H2O2 production through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway. This work highlights that the rational design of COTh-PAFs with consideration of D-A direction, charge transfer positions, and O2 adsorption sites provides a feasible access to efficient H2O2 production photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment but has limitations due to its dependence on oxygen and high-power-density photoexcitation. Here, we report polymer-based organic photosensitizers (PSs) through rational PS skeleton design and precise side-chain engineering to generate •O2- and •OH under oxygen-free conditions using ultralow-power 808 nm photoexcitation for tumor-specific photodynamic ablation. The designed organic PS skeletons can generate electron-hole pairs to sensitize H2O into •O2- and •OH under oxygen-free conditions with 808 nm photoexcitation, achieving NIR-photoexcited and oxygen-independent •O2- and •OH production. Further, compared with commonly used alkyl side chains, glycol oligomer as the PS side chain mitigates electron-hole recombination and offers more H2O molecules around the electron-hole pairs generated from the hydrophobic PS skeletons, which can yield 4-fold stronger •O2- and •OH production, thus allowing an ultralow-power photoexcitation to yield high PDT effect. Finally, the feasibility of developing activatable PSs for tumor-specific photodynamic therapy in female mice is further demonstrated under 808 nm irradiation with an ultralow-power of 15 mW cm-2. The study not only provides further insights into the PDT mechanism but also offers a general design guideline to develop an oxygen-independent organic PS using ultralow-power NIR photoexcitation for tumor-specific PDT.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization (PODS) has emerged as a promising, ecofriendly alternative to traditional, energy-intensive fuel desulfurization methods. Nevertheless, its progress is still hindered due to the slow sulfide oxidation kinetics in the current catalytic systems. Herein, we present a MoOx decorated on a Cu2O@CuO core-shell catalyst, which enables a new, efficient PODS pathway by in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with saturated moist air as the oxidant source. The photocatalyst delivers remarkable specific activity in oxidizing dibenzothiophene (DBT), achieving a superior rate of 7.8 mmol g-1 h-1, while maintaining a consistent performance across consecutive reuses. Experimental investigations reveal that H2O2 is produced through the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and both H2O2 and the hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated from it act as the primary reactive species responsible for sulfide oxidation. Importantly, our catalyst accomplishes complete PODS of real diesel fuel, underscoring an appealing industrial prospect for our photocatalyst.

Abstract
The insufficient exciton (e- -h+ pair) separation/transfer and sluggish two-electron water oxidation are two main factors limiting the H2 O2 photosynthetic efficiency of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) photocatalysts. Herein, we present an alternative strategy to simultaneously facilitate exciton separation/transfer and reduce the energy barrier of two-electron water oxidation in COFs via a dicyano functionalization. The in situ characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that the dicyano functionalization improves the amount of charge transfer channels between donor and acceptor units from two in COF-0CN without cyano functionalization to three in COF-1CN with mono-cyano functionalization and four in COF-2CN with dicyano functionalization, leading to the highest separation/transfer efficiency in COF-2CN. More importantly, the dicyano group activates the neighbouring C atom to produce the key *OH intermediate for effectively reducing the energy barrier of rate-determining two-electron water oxidation in H2 O2 photosynthesis. The simultaneously enhanced exciton separation/transfer and two-electron water oxidation in COF-2CN result in high H2 O2 yield (1601 μmol g-1 h-1 ) from water and oxygen without using sacrificial reagent under visible-light irradiation. COF-2CN can effectively yield H2 O2 in water with wide pH range, in different real water samples, in scaled-up reactor under natural sunlight irradiation, and in continuous-flow reactor for consecutively producing H2 O2 solution for water decontamination.

Rational Design of Conjugated Acetylenic Polymers Enables a Two-Electron Water Oxidation Pathway for Enhanced Photosynthetic Hydrogen Peroxide Generation. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2305004. [PMID: 37649170 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202305004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
Herein, the design of conjugated acetylenic polymers (CAPs) featuring diverse spatial arrangements and intramolecular spacers of diacetylene moieties (─C≡C─C≡C─) for photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) production from water and O2 , without the need for sacrificial agents, is presented. It is shown that the linear configuration of diacetylene moieties within conjugated acetylenic polymers (CAPs) induces a pronounced polarization of electron distribution, which imparts enhanced charge-carrier mobility when compared to CAPs' networks featuring cross-linked arrangements. Moreover, optimizing the intramolecular spacer between diacetylene moieties within the linear structure leads to the exceptional modulation of the band structures, specifically resulting in a downshifted valence band (VB) and rendering the two-electron water oxidation pathway thermodynamically feasible for H2 O2 production. Consequently, the optimized CAPs with a linear configuration (LCAP-2), featuring spatially separated reduction centers (benzene rings) and oxidation centers (diacetylene moieties), exhibit a remarkable H2 O2 yield rate of 920.1 µmol g-1 h-1 , superior than that of the linear LCAP-1 (593.2 µmol g-1 h-1 ) and the cross-linked CCAP (433.4 µmol g-1 h-1 ). The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) and solar-to-chemical energy conversion (SCC) efficiency of LCAP-2 are calculated to be 9.1% (λ = 420 nm) and 0.59%, respectively, surpassing the performance of most previously reported conjugated polymers.

Abstract
H2 O2 is a widely used eco-friendly oxidant and a potential energy carrier. Photocatalytic H2 O2 production from water and O2 is an ideal approach with the potential to address the current energy crisis and environmental issues. Three zig-zag two-dimensional coordination polymers (2D CPs), named CuX-dptz, were synthesized by a rapid and facile method at room temperature, showing preeminent H2 O2 photoproduction performance under pure water and open air without any additives. CuBr-dptz exhibits a H2 O2 production rate high up to 1874 μmol g-1 h-1 , exceeding most reported photocatalysts under this condition, even comparable to those supported by sacrificial agents and O2 . The coordination environment of Cu can be modulated by halogen atoms (X=Cl, Br, I), which in turn affects the electron transfer process and finally determines the reaction activity. This is the first time that 2D CPs have been used for photocatalytic H2 O2 production in such challenging conditions, which provides a new pathway for the development of portable in situ H2 O2 photosynthesis devices.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a valuable green oxidant with a wide range of applications. Furthermore, it is recognized as a possible future energy carrier achieving safe operation, storage and transportation. The photochemical production of H2O2 serves as a promising alternative to the waste- and energy-intensive anthraquinone process. Following the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, we demonstrate a facile and general approach to sustainable catalyst development utilizing earth-abundant iron and biobased sources only. We developed several iron oxide (FeOx) nanoparticles (NPs) for successful photochemical oxygen reduction to H2O2 under visible light illumination (445 nm). Achieving a selectivity for H2O2 of >99%, the catalyst material could be recycled for up to four consecutive rounds. An apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 0.11% was achieved for the photochemical oxygen reduction to H2O2 with visible light (445 nm) at ambient temperatures and pressures (9.4-14.8 mmol g-1 L-1). Reaching productivities of H2O2 of at least 1.7 ± 0.3 mmol g-1 L-1 h-1, production of H2O2 was further possible via sunlight irradiation and in seawater. Finally, a detailed mechanism has been proposed on the basis of experimental investigation of the catalyst's properties and computational results.

Abstract
Producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from H2O and O2 under visible light irradiation is a promising solar-to-chemical energy conversion technology. Hydrogen peroxide has versatile applications as a green oxidant and liquid energy carrier but has been produced through energy-intensive and complex anthraquinone processes. Herein, we report the rational design of efficient and stable porous organic polymer (POP) containing redox centers, anthraquinone photocatalyst (ANQ-POP) for solar H2O2 production. ANQ-POP is readily synthesized with stable dioxin-linkages via efficient one-pot, transition-metal-free nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluoro-9,10-anthraquinone (OFANQ) and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP). Exhibiting a fibrillar morphology, ANQ-POP boasts a high surface area of 380 m2∙g-1 and demonstrates thermal stability. With 10 % ethanol, ANQ-POP yields an H2O2 production rate of 320 μmol g-1 under visible light irradiation. Moreover, ANQ-POP alone can efficiently produce H2O2 without any photosensitizers and cocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the quinone groups of the anthraquinone moieties can serve as redox centers for H2O2 production under light irradiation. Furthermore, unlike most conventional photocatalysts, it can produce H2O2 using only water and air by catalyzing both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions under light irradiation. Our findings provide an efficient, eco-friendly pathway for photocatalytic production of H2O2 under mild reaction conditions using a dioxin-derived POP-based photocatalyst.

Abstract
Benefiting from the excellent structural tunability, robust framework, ultrahigh porosity, and rich active sites, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are widely recognized as promising photocatalysts in chemical conversions, and emerged in the hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) photosynthesis in 2020. H2 O2 , serving as an environmental-friendly oxidant and a promising liquid fuel, has attracted increasing researchers to explore its potential. Over the past few years, numerous COFs-based photocatalysts are developed with encouraging achievements in H2 O2 production, whereas no comprehensive review articles exist to summarize this specific and significant area. Herein we provide a systematic overview of the advances and challenges of COFs in photocatalytic H2 O2 production. We first introduce the priorities of COFs in H2 O2 photosynthesis. Then, various strategies to improve COFs photocatalytic efficiency are discussed. The perspective and outlook for future advances of COFs in this emerging field are finally offered. This timely review will pave the way for the development of highly efficient COFs photocatalysts for practical production of value-added chemicals not limited to H2 O2 .

Abstract
Photocatalytic organic reactions, harvesting solar energy to produce high value-added organic chemicals, have attracted increasing attention as a sustainable approach to address the global energy crisis and environmental issues. Reticular framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are widely considered as promising candidates for photocatalysis owing to their high crystallinity, tailorable pore environment and extensive structural diversity. Although the design and synthesis of MOFs and COFs have been intensively developed in the last 20 years, their applications in photocatalytic organic transformations are still in the preliminary stage, making their systematic summary necessary. Thus, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and useful guidelines for the exploration of suitable MOF and COF photocatalysts towards appropriate photocatalytic organic reactions. The commonly used reactions are categorized to facilitate the identification of suitable reaction types. From a practical viewpoint, the fundamentals of experimental design, including active species, performance evaluation and external reaction conditions, are discussed in detail for easy experimentation. Furthermore, the latest advances in photocatalytic organic reactions of MOFs and COFs, including their composites, are comprehensively summarized according to the actual active sites, together with the discussion of their structure-property relationship. We believe that this study will be helpful for researchers to design novel reticular framework photocatalysts for various organic synthetic applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction to produce high-value hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is gaining popularity as a promising avenue of research. However, structural evolution mechanisms of catalytically active sites in the entire photosynthetic H2O2 system remains unclear and seriously hinders the development of highly-active and stable H2O2 photocatalysts. Herein, we report a high-loading Ni single-atom photocatalyst for efficient H2O2 synthesis in pure water, achieving an apparent quantum yield of 10.9% at 420 nm and a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.82%. Importantly, using in situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy we directly observe that initial Ni-N3 sites dynamically transform into high-valent O1-Ni-N2 sites after O2 adsorption and further evolve to form a key *OOH intermediate before finally forming HOO-Ni-N2. Theoretical calculations and experiments further reveal that the evolution of the active sites structure reduces the formation energy barrier of *OOH and suppresses the O=O bond dissociation, leading to improved H2O2 production activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) is considered one of the most important chemical products and has a promising future in photocatalytic preparation, which is green, pollution-free, and hardly consumes any non-renewable energy. This study involves the preparation of benzoxazine with Si─O bonds via the Mannich reaction, followed by co-hydrolysis to produce photocatalysts containing benzoxazine with Si─O─Ti bonds. In this study, a benzoxazine photocatalyst with Si─O─Ti bonds is synthesized and characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The size and elemental distribution of the nanoparticles are confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic synthesis of H2 O2 is tested using the titanium salt detection method, and the rate is found to be 7.28 µmol h-1 . Additionally, the catalyst exhibits good hydrolysis resistance and could be reused multiple times. The use of benzoxazine with Si─O─Ti bonds presents a promising experimental and theoretical foundation for the industrial production of H2 O2 through photocatalytic synthesis.

As a low-cost, low toxicity and metal-free catalyst with strong light absorption, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based materials have gained wide attention for efficient H2O2 photocatalysis. However, further investigation regarding the charge transfer process and reaction mechanism of H2O2 photoproduction remains to be completed. In this work, bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) modified g-C3N4 is synthesized through a facile one-step dehydration process, and the H2O2 photoproduction could reach 22.5 μmol within 8 hours. The proposed structure of g-BTDA is confirmed by FTIR, XPS and SEM studies. The transient absorption reveals a 20.88 ps charge transfer process caused by the electron withdrawing ability of the CO group, and a 2-electron oxygen reduction pathway is proposed. Our work represents a new strategy for efficient H2O2 photoproduction using easily acquired materials with future application potential.

Abstract
Solar-driven synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) from water and air provides a low-cost and eco-friendly alternative route to the traditional anthraquinone method. Herein, four thiazole-based conjugated polymers (Tz-CPs: TTz, BTz, TBTz and BBTz) are synthesized via aldimine condensation. BBTz exhibits the highest H2 O2 production rate of 7274 μmol g-1 h-1 in pure water. Further, the reaction path is analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and theoretical calculation, highlighting the prominent role of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ). The generation of 1 O2 occurs through the oxidation of superoxide radical (⋅O2 - ) and subsequent conversion into endoperoxides via [4+2] cycloaddition over BBTz, which promotes charge separation and reduces the barrier for H2 O2 production. This work provides new insight into the mechanism of photocatalytic O2 reduction and the molecular design of superior single-polymer photocatalysts.

Abstract
For professional athletes or fitness crowd who often participate in sports, sports injury are more common. However, the traditional repair materials for sports injury have many problems, such as long recovery period and poor repair effect. In recent years, many studies have found that conjugated materials have good stability, small side effects and other excellent characteristics, and conjugated materials are used in sports injury repair materials. In order to study the repair effect of conjugated materials on sports injury tissues, this paper prepared nitrogen porphyrin conjugated organic skeleton materials with pyrrole and p-benzaldehyde as substrates, used chemical synthesis and selective laser sintering technology to form plastic conjugated scaffold materials with polyvinyl alcohol, polylactide and conjugated materials, and established mechanical properties and constitutive formula to evaluate the performance characteristics of repair materials. In order to test the effect of plastic conjugated materials on sports injury, experiments were carried out from the aspects of degradability, mechanical properties of repair materials, repair effect of radius defect and new bone formation area. Experimental data: The proportion of newly formed bone area at weeks 3, 6, and 9 using this method was 32%, 52%, and 68%, while the proportion of newly formed bone area at weeks 3, 6, and 9 using traditional methods was 12%, 18%, and 23%, indicating that this method had better bone repair effects than traditional methods. The research in this paper provided a new idea for the application of plastic conjugated materials in the field of sports medicine.

Abstract
Solar-driven photocatalysis is a promising approach for renewable energy application. H2O2 photocatalysis by metal-free graphitic carbon nitride has been gaining attention. Compared with traditional thermal catalysis, metal-free graphitic carbon nitride photocatalysis could lower material cost and achieve greener production of H2O2. Also, to better guide photocatalyst design, a fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism is needed. Here, we develop a series of model cost-effective metal-free H2O2 photocatalysts made from graphitic carbon nitride (melem) and common imide groups. With 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA)-modified g-C3N4, a H2O2 yield rate of 10781 μmol/h·g·L could be achieved. Transient absorption and ex situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements revealed an ultrafast charge transfer from the melem core to water with ∼3 ps to form unique N-OH intermediates. The electron withdrawing ability of the anhydride group plays a role in governing the rate of electron transfer, ensuring efficient charge separation. Our strategy represents a new way to achieve a low material cost, simple synthesizing strategy, good environment impact, and high H2O2 production for renewable energy application.

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
Solar-driven photosynthesis is a sustainable process for the production of hydrogen peroxide, the efficiency of which is plagued by side reactions. Metal-free covalent organic frameworks (COFs) that can form suitable intermediates and inhibit side reactions show great promise to photo-synthesize H2O2. However, the insufficient formation and separation/transfer of photogenerated charges in such materials restricts the efficiency of H2O2 production. Herein, we provide a strategy for the design of donor-acceptor COFs to greatly boost H2O2 photosynthesis. We demonstrate that the optimal intramolecular polarity of COFs, achieved by using suitable amounts of phenyl groups as electron donors, can maximize the free charge generation, which leads to high H2O2 yield rates (605 μmol g-1 h-1) from water, oxygen and visible light without sacrificial agents. Combining in-situ characterization with computational calculations, we describe how the triazine N-sites with optimal N 2p states play a crucial role in H2O activation and selective oxidation into H2O2. We further experimentally demonstrate that H2O2 can be efficiently produced in tap, river or sea water with natural sunlight and air for water decontamination.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers a promising hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) synthetic strategy, especially the one-step two-electron (2e- ) ORR route holds great potential in achieving highly efficient and selectivity. However, efficient one-step 2e- ORR is rarely harvested and the underlying mechanism for regulating the ORR pathways remains greatly obscure. Here, by loading sulfone units into covalent organic frameworks (FS-COFs), we present an efficient photocatalyst for H2 O2 generation via one-step 2e- ORR from pure water and air. Under visible light irradiation, FS-COFs exert a superb H2 O2 yield of 3904.2 μmol h-1 g-1 , outperforming most reported metal-free catalysts under similar conditions. Experimental and theoretical investigation reveals that the sulfone units accelerate the separation of photoinduced electron-hole (e- -h+ ) pairs, enhance the protonation of COFs, and promote O2 adsorption in the Yeager-type, which jointly alters the reaction process from two-step 2e- ORR to the one-step one, thereby achieving efficient H2 O2 generation with high selectivity.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful and green oxidant that allows for the oxidation of a wide span of organic and inorganic substrates in liquid media under mild reaction conditions, and forms only molecular water and oxygen as end products. Hydrogen peroxide is therefore used in a wide range of applications, for which the well-documented and established anthraquinone autoxidation process is by far the dominating production method at the industrial scale. As this method is highly energy consuming and environmentally costly, the search for more sustainable synthesis methods is of high interest. To this end, the article reviews the basis and the recent development of the photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide. Different oxygen reduction and water oxidation mechanisms are discussed, as well as several kinetic models, and the influence of the main key reaction parameters is itemized. A large range of photocatalytic materials is reviewed, with emphasis on titania-based photocatalysts and on high-prospect graphitic carbon nitride-based systems that take advantage of advanced bulk and surface synthetic approaches. Strategies for enhancing the performances of solar-driven photocatalysts are reported, and the search for new, alternative, photocatalytic materials is detailed. Finally, the promise of in situ photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide for water treatment and organic synthesis is described, as well as its coupling with enzymes and the direct in situ synthesis of other technical peroxides.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a powerful industrial oxidant and potential carbon-neutral liquid energy carrier. Sunlight-driven synthesis of H2O2 from the most earth-abundant O2 and seawater is highly desirable. However, the solar-to-chemical efficiency of H2O2 synthesis in particulate photocatalysis systems is low. Here, we present a cooperative sunlight-driven photothermal-photocatalytic system based on cobalt single-atom supported on sulfur doped graphitic carbon nitride/reduced graphene oxide heterostructure (Co-CN@G) to boost H2O2 photosynthesis from natural seawater. By virtue of the photothermal effect and synergy between Co single atoms and the heterostructure, Co-CN@G enables a solar-to-chemical efficiency of more than 0.7% under simulated sunlight irradiation. Theoretical calculations verify that the single atoms combined with heterostructure significantly promote the charge separation, facilitate O2 absorption and reduce the energy barriers for O2 reduction and water oxidation, eventually boosting H2O2 photoproduction. The single-atom photothermal-photocatalytic materials may provide possibility of large-scale H2O2 production from inexhaustible seawater in a sustainable way.

Abstract
Designing polymeric photocatalysts at the molecular level to modulate the photogenerated charge behavior is a promising and challenging strategy for efficient hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) photosynthesis. Here, we introduce electron-deficient 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ) into the framework of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin, which modulates the donor/acceptor ratio from the perspective of molecular design for promoting the charge separation. Interestingly, H2 O2 can be produced via oxygen reduction and water oxidation pathways, verified by isotopic labeling and in situ characterization techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that DHAQ can reduce the energy barrier for H2 O2 production. RF-DHAQ exhibits excellent overall photosynthesis of H2 O2 with a solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency exceeding 1.2 %. This work opens a new avenue to design polymeric photocatalysts at the molecular level for high-efficiency artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Molecular packing controls optoelectronic properties in organic molecular nanomaterials. Here we report a donor-acceptor organic molecule (2,6-bis(4-cyanophenyl)-4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile) that exhibits two aggregate states in aqueous dispersions: amorphous nanospheres and ordered nanofibres with π-π molecular stacking. The nanofibres promote sacrificial photocatalytic H2 production (31.85 mmol g-1 h-1) while the nanospheres produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (3.20 mmol g-1 h-1 in the presence of O2). This is the first example of an organic photocatalyst that can be directed to produce these two different solar fuels simply by changing the molecular packing. These different packings affect energy band levels, the extent of excited state delocalization, the excited state dynamics, charge transfer to O2 and the light absorption profile. We use a combination of structural and photophysical measurements to understand how this influences photocatalytic selectivity. This illustrates the potential to achieve multiple photocatalytic functionalities with a single organic molecule by engineering nanomorphology and solid-state packing.

Abstract
The full reaction photosynthesis of H2 O2 that can combine water-oxidation and oxygen-reduction without sacrificial agents is highly demanded to maximize the light-utilization and overcome the complex reaction-process of anthraquinone-oxidation. Here, a kind of oxidation-reduction molecular junction covalent-organic-framework (TTF-BT-COF) has been synthesized through the covalent-coupling of tetrathiafulvalene (photo-oxidation site) and benzothiazole (photo-reduction site), which presents visible-light-adsorption region, effective electron-hole separation-efficiency and photo-redox sites that enables full reaction generation of H2 O2 . Specifically, a record-high yield (TTF-BT-COF, ≈276 000 μM h-1 g-1 ) for H2 O2 photosynthesis without sacrificial agents has been achieved among porous crystalline photocatalysts. This is the first work that can design oxidation-reduction molecular junction COFs for full reaction photosynthesis of H2 O2 , which might extend the scope of COFs in H2 O2 production.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are highly desirable for achieving high-efficiency overall photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) via molecular design. However, precise construction of COFs toward overall photosynthetic H2 O2 remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the crystalline s-heptazine-based COFs (HEP-TAPT-COF and HEP-TAPB-COF) with separated redox centers for efficient H2 O2 production from O2 and pure water. The spatially and orderly separated active sites in HEP-COFs can efficiently promote charge separation and enhance photocatalytic H2 O2 production. Compared with HEP-TAPB-COF, HEP-TAPT-COF exhibits higher H2 O2 production efficiency for integrating dual O2 reduction active centers of s-heptazine and triazine moieties. Accordingly, HEP-TAPT-COF bearing dual O2 reduction centers exhibits a remarkable solar-to-chemical energy efficiency of 0.65 % with a high apparent quantum efficiency of 15.35 % at 420 nm, surpassing previously reported COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) can be used to introduce different functionalities into highly stable covalent organic frameworks (COFs). In this work, the irreversible three-component Doebner reaction is utilized to synthesize four chemically stable quinoline-4-carboxylic acid DMCR-COFs (DMCR-1-3 and DMCR-1NH) equipped with an acid-base bifunctionality. These DMCR-COFs show superior photocatalytic H2O2 evolution (one of the most important industrial oxidants) compared to the imine COF analogue (Imine-1). This is achieved with sacrificial oxidants but also in pure water and under an oxygen or air atmosphere. Furthermore, the DMCR-COFs show high photostability, durability, and recyclability. MCR-COFs thus provide a viable materials' platform for solar to chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have garnered increasing attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their stability and molecular tunability. Understanding the structure-property relationship in CPs and addressing appropriate molecular design strategies are pivotal to improving the photocatalytic performance of CPs. Herein, a new efficient cyano (CN) engineering approach was proposed to promote the photocatalytic performance of CPs, and three representative CP-based photocatalysts with different CN contents were tailor-made to investigate the relationship between CN functionalization and photocatalytic activity. A series of systematically experimental and theoretical studies reveal that CN functionalization contributes to strengthening the donor-acceptor (D-A) interaction, enhancing the light absorption ability, charge separation/transfer efficiency, and hydrophilicity of CPs, and also facilitating the output of separated photoinduced electrons from CPs to Pt cocatalyst. Thus, the dicyano-functionalized polymer (P-2CN) manifests an attractive photocatalytic performance in hydrogen production. This study provides a facile strategy to develop excellent CP-based photocatalysts for solar fuel production.

Abstract
The demands for cost-effective solar fuels have triggered extensive research in artificial photosynthesis, yet the efforts in designing high-performance particulate photocatalysts are largely impeded by inefficient charge separation. Because charge separation in a particulate photocatalyst is driven by asymmetric interfacial energetics between its reduction and oxidation sites, enhancing this process demands nanoscale tuning of interfacial energetics on the prerequisite of not impairing the kinetics and selectivity for surface reactions. In this study, we realize this target with a general strategy involving the application of a core/shell type cocatalyst that is demonstrated on various photocatalytic systems. The promising H2O2 generation efficiency validate our perspective on tuning interfacial energetics for enhanced charge separation and photosynthesis performance. Particularly, this strategy is highlighted on a BiVO4 system for overall H2O2 photosynthesis with a solar-to-H2O2 conversion of 0.73%.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have attracted great attention due to their excellent optical properties (such as large absorption cross section, signal amplification, high photostability etc.). As representative electron acceptors and organic small molecules which are easy to be synthesized and modified, cyano-substituted stilbene (CSS) derivatives are widely used to construct photoelectrical materials. Despite donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers based on CSS have been applied in sensing and super-resolution imaging, systematic studies about the effects of different CSS structures on the photophysical properties of CPs have rarely been reported. Therefore, we have synthesized a series of D-A conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CP NPs) based on different CSS units, and found that the photophysical properties of CP NPs including the bandgap and ΔES-T were closely associated with the structure of CSS derivatives. Moreover, the introduction of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) can relieve the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effects of CSS conjugated polymers to varying degrees. The theoretical calculation further corroborated that by regulating the number and distribution of cyanide groups in the repeating units, the stronger D-A strength resulted in a redshift in the emission spectrum and the more efficient capacity of total ROS (1O2, O2•- and •OH) generation. We then selected CP6-TAT NPs, with the near infrared (NIR) emission and best ФPS, to characterize its performance in photodynamic therapy (PDT). It was revealed that CP6-TAT NPs can be regarded as an ideal candidate for PDT. The results provided a new reference for regulating the structure-effect relationship of CPs and a comprehensive method for constructing photosensitizers based on CPs.

Abstract
Artificial photocatalysis offers a clean approach for producing H2 O2 . However, the poor selectivity and activity of H2 O2 production hamper traditional industrial applications and emerging photodynamic therapy (PDT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, we report a C5 N2 photocatalyst with a conjugated C=N linkage for selective and efficient non-sacrificial H2 O2 production in both normoxic and hypoxic systems. The strengthened delocalization of π-electrons by linkers in C5 N2 downshifted the band position, thermodynamically eliminating side H2 evolution reaction and kinetically promoting water oxidation. As a result, C5 N2 had a competitive solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.55 % in overall H2 O2 production and exhibited by far the highest activity under hypoxic conditions (698 μM h-1 ). C5 N2 was further applied to hypoxic PDT/CDT with outstanding performance in apparent cancer cell death and synchronous bioimaging. The study sheds light on the photosynthesis of H2 O2 by carbon nitrides for health applications.
