3D N-heterocyclic covalent organic frameworks for urea photosynthesis from NH3 and CO2 by Ning Li, Jiale Zhang, Xiangdong Xie, Kang Wang, Dongdong Qi, Jiang Liu, Ya-Qian Lan, Jianzhuang Jiang

“…A series of experiment results disclose the gradually enhanced conductivity, light-harvesting capacity, photogenerated carrier separation efficiency, and co-adsorption capacity towards NH3 and CO2 in the order of benzene-, pyrazine-, and tetrazine-containing framework. This in turn endows tetrazine-containing framework with superior photocatalytic activity towards urea production from NH3 and CO2 with the yield of 523 μmol g−1 h−1, 40 and 4 times higher than that for benzene- and pyrazine-containing framework, respectively, indicating the heterocyclic N microenvironment-dependent catalytic performance for these three photocatalysts. …”
