以芳基胍臂为特征的原位自清洁共价有机框架(Aryl-BIG-COF)首先被开发出来,用于去除水中新出现的有机污染物,如普萘洛尔(PRO)。主要突破是解决了功能活性位点稀缺、原位再生不切实际以及 COF 应用中电子-单键孔对快速重组等问题。由于芳基胍臂的定向捕获能力和电子结构调控,新合成的 COF 的吸附容量和光催化降解率分别提高了近四倍和七倍。在活性位点光催化再生的驱动下,该化合物具有自清洁能力,能够原位去除 PRO,并在六个周期后保持 90% 以上的去除率。此外,它在去除 PRO 和其他新出现的污染物(如双酚 A (BPA)、四环素 (TC) 和诺氟沙星 (NOR))方面具有广泛的适用性,可用于各种水基质,且残留毒性较低。天然水中共存的有机物和离子促进了对 PRO 的去除。其增强机制是芳基胍臂缩小了带隙,诱导了局部电荷极化,从而提高了电子-单键孔对的分离效率。这项工作为用于净化水的 COF 的结构设计和实际应用提供了重要启示。
Fig. 1. (a) Contributions of adsorption and photocatalysis to PRO removal by the as-prepared materials (light off for 30 min; light on for 40 min). (b) The residual total organic carbon curves and the removal rate of PRO with Aryl-BIG-COF upon visible-light irradiation. (c) The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) of the photocatalytic process. (d) The adsorption mechanism between Aryl-BIG-COF and PRO (left figure) and the performance of postadsorption photocatalytic degradation and direct photocatalysis for PRO with Aryl-BIG-COF (right figure). Experimental conditions: [PRO]0 =20.0 mg·L-1, [catalyst dosage] =0.2 g·L-1, T =293±1 K, and initial pH = 6.1. Data points and error bars are average values/standard errors of the mean, where n = 3.

(b) Photocatalytic degradation and comparison of pseudo-first-order kinetic rate constants (inset) at different pH values of PRO over Aryl-BIG-COF upon visible-light irradiation. (c) Photocatalytic degradation performance of Aryl-BIG-COF for other emerging contaminants. (d) Comparative efficiency analysis of Aryl-BIG-COF with other reported photocatalysts for the degradation of PRO. The equivalent efficiency (EE) was calculated via the following equation: EE = (Initial concentration × Efficiency)/(Dosage × Time) (h-1), which indicates the number of milligrams of pollutants that can be degraded per gram of catalyst per hour.

(m) Charge density difference between the S1 excited state and the ground state and at an isovalue of 0.001 a.u. (Green and blue represent increasing and decreasing regions of electron density, respectively. The quantitative charge-transfer analysis is based on the interfragment charge transfer method. Sr represents the geometric mean of the degree of overlap between electron and hole distributions under electronic excitation.).

缺乏活性位点、电子单键孔快速重组和异位再生是 COF 基光催化剂实际应用的主要障碍。芳香族双环戊二烯凭借其优异的吸附性能和富电子共轭结构,通过侧链工程将其成功引入 COF 框架,从而开发出一种原位自清洁 COF。新合成的 COF 在去除真水中新出现的有机污染物方面表现良好,同时保持了原有的高度有序结构。芳香族双胍臂促进了活性位点的引入和电子传输的空间调控,实现了能带的无金属调控。事实证明,Aryl-BIG-COF 能有效去除各种水基质中的 PRO 和其他新兴污染物。光催化自清洁应用的巨大潜力拓展了水净化领域各种工程应用的前景。进一步的研究应侧重于开发温和条件下的低成本多功能 COF,以去除更多新出现的有机污染物。应进行长期性能评估,以确保实际应用中的可持续性和对环境的最小影响。
