A scalable approach using a gC₃N₄-covalent organic framework hybrid catalyst towards sustainable hydrogen production from seawater and wastewater.

ABSTRACT: The photocatalytic generation of H₂ using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is gaining more interest. While numerous reports have focused on the production of H₂ from deionized water using COFs, the inability to produce H₂ from industrial wastewater or seawater is a common limitation in many reported catalysts. Additionally, many of these reports lack a clear path to scale up the catalyst synthesis. In this study, we explore the prospect of hybridizing a COF with gC₃N₄ to create a robust photocatalyst for efficient H₂ generation. This hybrid exhibits outstanding performance not only in deionized water, but also in wastewater, and simulated seawater. Furthermore, we explore the feasibility of the bulk-scale synthesis and suc
