A research team led by Prof. Zeng Gaofeng and Assoc. Prof. Xu Qing from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a multilevel post-synthetic modification strategy to construct catalytic COFs towards CO2RR with high activity and selectivity.
The results were published in Nature Communications.
Catalytic COFs synthesized by the post modification showed a maximum turnover frequency value of 9922.68 h–1 at –1.0 V and the highest faradaic efficiency of 97.32% at –0.8 V, which were higher than that of the base COF and the single-modified COFs.
Electrocatalysis tests and characterizations revealed that C-N bonds could improve catalytic selectivity and ionic skeleton contributed to higher activity.
Furthermore, theoretical calculations illustrated that the easier formation of immediate *CO from COOH* was the rate-determined step, and methyl groups strengthened electron density.
This work provides a deeper understanding of COFs in CO2 reduction reaction. It sheds light on constructing multilevel post-synthetic modification COFs towards tailored activity and high stability.
