Abstract

It is a great challenge to obtain oriented design and synthesis of new two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) with proper CN stoichiometry, N position, and band structures as specific electrocatalysts. Driven by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we designed and synthesized a new phenazine-linked 2D-COF (COF-C 4 N) by solvothermal reaction of triphenylenehexamine (TPHA) and hexaketocyclohexane (HKH). Structural analysis confirmed that COF-C 4 N possesses an ordered crystalline structure with a highly conjugated basal plane and better stability. COF-C 4 N exhibited OER performance with a low overpotential of 349 mV at 10 mA cm –2 and a Tafel slope of 64 mV dec –1 . A combination of theoretical and experimental studies revealed that better OER performance is attributed to better crystallinity and stability, an appropriate band gap, and an N position that promotes the formation of C active sites around N atoms. The strategy of theory-driven design and targeting synthesis of 2D-COFs for OER may provide a new way to further develop metal-free materials for clean energy application.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
