Covalent organic frameworks with high quantum efficiency in sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Covalent organic frameworks with high quantum efficiency in sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution Abstract Organic semiconductors offer a tunable platform for photocatalysis, yet the more difficult exciton dissociation, compared to that in inorganic semiconductors, lowers their photocatalytic activities. In this work, we report that the charge carrier lifetime is dramatically prolonged by incorporating a suitable donor-acceptor (β-ketene-cyano) pair into a covalent organic framework nan...
