ABSTRACT
To summarize, the research team proposed a
dual-state activation strategy that simultaneously utilizes both S1 and T1 excited states in D–A COFs for efficient
photocatalysis. The structurally optimized D–A COFs exhibit broad-spectrum absorption extending into the near-infrared
region and high performance with a high TOF under red-light irradiation.
Additionally, they operate without metals, co-catalysts, or sacrificial donors
while facilitating various condensation and coupling reactions with exceptional
efficiency and selectivity. This approach surpasses the traditional limitation
of selectively using only one excited state, significantly enhancing
photocatalytic efficiency and broadening reaction scope for applications like
renewable energy and environmental remediation.
