基于四硫富瓦烯的无金属共价有机框架材料用于高效电催化析氧反应

共价有机框架(COFs)在电催化析氧反应(OER)中的应用得到了广泛的关注。然而,大多数无金属共价有机框架(COFs)的导电性较差,不利于OER反应。四硫富瓦烯(TTF)是一种良好的电子供体,具有快速的电子转移能力,将TTF整合到共价有机框架骨架中将有助于电子的转移。在此,我们报道了一种基于四硫富瓦烯的二维无金属共价有机框架材料,JUC-630。与不含四硫富瓦烯的同类材料(Etta-Td COF)相比,JUC-630具有较低的过电位(400 mV)和塔菲尔斜率(104 mV∙dec⁻¹)。本研究提出了合理设计功能基元的策略,这有助于大大提高COF材料的OER催化活性。

卟啉-硫醚基共价有机框架材料用于氧还原反应电催化剂

氧还原反应（ORR）是能进行能量存储的核心电化学过程。由于它的动力学速率缓慢,因此亟需制备出高活性的电催化剂来促进这一反应的速率。二维共价有机框架材料（2D COFs）的π-π堆积结构可赋予骨架高导电率,并且一维有序的孔道有利于促进中间反应体传输。因此,其在可再生能源领域中具有良好的应用前景,并有望作为能量存储与转化的强大催化平台。本文通过向2D COFs中引入金属卟啉单元及硫醚单元成功制备了两个2D COFs （JUC-600和JUC-601）。通过多种表征手段证明,这两个2D COFs均具有AA堆积的sql拓扑结构。通过电化学测试表明,Co²⁺配位的JUC-601具有更正的ORR起始电势（0.825 V）和半波电势（0.7 V）、更高的活性表面积（7.8 mF/cm²）,更低的Tafel斜率（58 mV/dec）。这主要是由于JUC-601的高比表面积和高孔隙率使得中间产物能更易在COFs的表面和孔道中接触和传输。此外,Co²⁺-卟啉单元以及硫醚单元的存在使其骨架整体的电子结构发生了变化,更有利于电子转移。这一工作不仅开发了新的二维卟啉-硫醚基COFs材料,同时也拓展了2D COFs材料在电催化领域的应用。

Stable Thiophene-sulfur Covalent Organic Frameworks for Oxygen Reduction Reaction(ORR)

Exploring novel materials deriving from earth resources to substitute for platinum(Pt) electrocatalyst to promote oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) of fuel cell cathode is very important. Herein, we have exploited two crystallographic thiophene-sulfur covalent organic frameworks(COFs), termed JUC-607 and JUC-608, as electrocatalysts that exhibited good ORR performances. These thiophene-sulfur COFs exhibited high stability, and their functional groups acting as active centers in the ORR can be precisely determined. Notably, due to a larger aperture for mass transfer and electrons transport, JUC-608 displayed a growing electrochemical performance, leading to a better ORR activity. Thus, this study will provide a new strategy for designing heteroatom-based COF materials for high-performance electrochemical catalysis.     

A Two-dimensional Covalent Organic Framework for Iodine Adsorption

Radioactive iodine is a notorious pollutant in gas radioactive nuclear waste due to its radiation hazard, volatility, chemical toxicity, and high mobility. Therefore, developing a material with high efficiency-specific iodine capture is significant. Covalent organic framework(COF) has attracted significant attention as a new crystalline porous organic material. Due to its large specific surface and high chemical stability, it is an excellent alternative to adsorbents. Herein, we report a chemically stable two-dimensional COF(termed JUC-609) with specific adsorption of iodine. Adsorption experiments show that JUC-609 has an excellent iodine adsorption capacity as high as 5.9 g/g under 353 K and normal pressure condition, and iodine adsorption after multiple cycles is still maintained. Our study thus promotes the potential application of COFs in the field of environment-related applications.     

A Photoresponsive Surface Covalent Organic Framework: Surface‐Confined Synthesis,Isomerization, and Controlled Guest Capture and Release

By introducing an azobenzene group to the backbone of diboronic acid, we have obtained a surface‐confined, photoresponsive single‐layer covalent organic framework with long‐range order and almost entire surface coverage. Scanning tunneling microscopic characterization indicates that though the covalent linkage provides a significant locking effect, isomerization can still happen under UV irradiation, which causes destruction of the surface COF. Furthermore, the decomposed surface COF can recover upon annealing. This photoinduced decomposition provides a facile approach for the controlled capture and release of targeted objects using these nanoporous surface COFs as a host, which has been demonstrated in this work using copper phthalocyanine as a model guest.     

Photochromism of 2-(phenylazo)imidazoles

The isomerization behaviors of 2-(phenylazo)imidazole (Pai-H) and 1-N-methyl-2-(phenylazo)imidazole (Pai-Me) have been investigated. The crystal structure of trans-Pai-Me was determined, revealing that key structures around the azo group are nearly identical among azobenzene, Pai-H, and Pai-Me. Pai-Me undergoes reversible cis/trans photoisomerization, whereas Pai-H responds poorly to irradiation. The quantum yields of trans-to-cis isomerization of Pai-Me on 454 and 355 nm excitation are 0.35 +/- 0.03 and 0.25 +/- 0.03, respectively, in toluene. The wavelength-dependent isomerization quantum yield is well-known for azobenzene, but these values are substantially higher than those of azobenzene. The activation energy of thermal cis-to-trans isomerization of Pai-Me in toluene is 79.0 +/- 3.5 kJ mol(-1), which is lower than that of azobenzene by 15 kJ mol(-1). The thermal cis-to-trans isomerization of Pai-H is even faster. Density functional theory calculations were performed, revealing that the energy gaps between the azo n-orbital and the highest pi-orbital of azoimidazoles are much narrower than that of azobenzene. Finally, a preliminary study suggested that metal ions can modulate the absorption spectrum of Pai-Me without a loss of the gross photochromic behavior.     

Dual-Stimuli Responsive 2D Supramolecular Organic Framework for the Detection of Azoreductase Activity

A 2D supramolecular organic framework (SOF) based on synthetic macrocycles has been constructed in water by a self-assembly strategy. Two new organic monomers of this SOF, possessing viologen and azobenzene functional groups, form a stimuli-responsive host–guest system upon cooperatively binding with cucurbit[8]uril rings. The reversible formation and dissociation of 2D SOF can be realized by the isomerization of azobenzene under ultraviolet and visible light. The light-responsive property of the SOF is highly reversible and stable for up to four cycles. Moreover, azoreductase produced by Escherichia coli can reduce the N=N double bond of azobenzene entities, resulting in fluorescence recovery of the system. As an excellent and effective fluorescent probe, the SOF can detect azoreductase activity for real-time monitoring of the growth process of Escherichia coli. The dual-stimuli responsive 2D SOF is envisioned to drive the development of responsive devices with complex functions.     

Piezochromism in Dynamic Three-Dimensional Covalent Organic Frameworks

Piezochromic materials with pressure-dependent photoluminescence tuning properties are important in many fields, such as mechanical sensors, security papers, and storage devices. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as an emerging class of crystalline porous materials (CPMs) with structural dynamics and tunable photophysical properties, are suitable for designing piezochromic materials, but there are few related studies. Herein, we report two dynamic three-dimensional COFs based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) chromophores, termed JUC-635 and JUC-636 (JUC=Jilin University China), and for the first time, study their piezochromic behavior by diamond anvil cell technique. Due to the various luminescent groups, JUC-635 has completely different solvatochromism and molecular aggregation behavior in the solvents. More importantly, JUC-635 with AIE effect exhibits a sustained fluorescence upon pressure increase (≈3 GPa), and reversible sensitivity with high-contrast emission differences (Δλ_em=187 nm) up to 12 GPa, superior to other CPMs reported so far. Therefore, this study will open a new gate to expand the potential applications of COFs as exceptional piezochromic materials in pressure sensing, barcoding, and signal switching.     

Ionic Liquid Crystalline Calixarene with Photo-Switchable Proton Conduction

We have developed a new strategy for the preparation of a light-responsive ionic liquid crystal (LC) that shows photo-switchable proton conduction. The ionic LC consists of a bowl-shaped calix[4]arene core ionically functionalized with azobenzene moieties. The non-covalent architectures were obtained by the formation of ionic salts between the carboxylic acid group of an azo-derivative and the terminal amine groups of a calixarene core. The presence of ionic salts results in a hierarchical self-assembly process that extends to the formation of a nanostructured lamellar LC arrangement (smectic A phase). In this LC phase, the ionic LC calixarene is able to display proton conductive properties, since the ionic nanosegregated areas (formed by the ionic pairs) generate the continuous channels that favor proton transport. The optical and photo-responsive properties were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, demonstrating that the azobenzene moieties of the ionic LC undergo reversible (E)-to-(Z) isomerization by irradiation with UV light. Interestingly, this (E)-to-(Z) photoisomerization results in a decrease of the proton conductivity values since the bent-shaped (Z)-isomer disrupts the lamellar LC phase. This isomerization process is totally reversible and leads to an ionic LC material with unique photo-switchable proton conductive properties.     

Azobenzene-containing monolayer with photoswitchable wettability

A compact monolayer containing azobenzene has been prepared on silicon substrates. The elaboration route consisted of covalent grafting of freshly synthesized azobenzene moieties onto an isocyanate-functionalized self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The highly packed and ordered isocyanate-functionalized SAM and the azobenzene-functionalized SAM were monitored and characterized by contact angle measurements and X-ray reflectivity (XR). Photoswitching of the wettability of the film induced by the reversible cis-trans isomerization of the azobenzene chromophores is experimentally shown from water and olive oil contact angle measurements.
