Perfluoroalkyl-modified covalent organic frameworks for continuous photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide synthesis and extraction in a biphasic fluid system.

ABSTRACT: H₂O₂ photosynthesis represents an appealing approach for sustainable and decentralized H₂O₂ production. Unfortunately, current reactions are mostly carried out in laboratory-scale single-phase batch reactors, which have a limited H₂O₂ production rate (<100 μmol h^-1) and cannot operate in an uninterrupted manner. Herein, we propose continuous H₂O₂ photosynthesis and extraction in a biphasic fluid system. A superhydrophobic covalent organic framework photocatalyst with perfluoroalkyl functionalization is rationally designed and prepared via the Schiff-base reaction. When applied in a home-built biphasic fluid photo-reactor, the superhydrophobicity of our photocatalyst allows its selective dispe
