Utilizing of oxygen and water for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production presents an attractive approach for solarto-chemical energy conversion. The rapid recombination of charge carriers generated by individual covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a major limitation in the field of H2O2 photoproduction. In this work, we developed binary heterojunction photocatalysts by facilely combining bipyridine-based COF (COF-TpBpy) with flower-like In2S3 nanosheets using an in-situ solvothermal method.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the most environmentally friendly and versatile chemical oxidizing agents, with only O2 and H2O as reaction products. It is widely used in environmental protection, industrial production, and medical fields. At present, most of the industrial production of H2O2 adopts anthraquinone oxidation, but there are shortcomings such as pollution of the environment and large energy consumption. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline material

As a typical perovskite material, NaTaO3 has been regarded as a potential catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) process, due to its excellent photoelectric property and superior chemical stability. However, the photocatalytic activity of pure NaTaO3 was largely restricted by its poor visible-light absorption ability and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. Therefore, a covalently bonded TpBpy covalent organic framework (COF)/NaTaO3 (TpBpy/NaTaO3) heterostructure
