Abstract

Abstract : A new COF synthesized for reduction of CO2 in aqueous solution and recognition of the new role of H + in the reduction of CO2 . Abstract : We prepare a novel COF for CO2 photoreduction with 99.9% CO selectivity in aqueous solution without a cocatalyst. DFT shows that the preferential adsorption of H + on the COF results in increased CO2 adsorption energy providing an anchoring site of CO2, and with the cooperation of an ethylene group, CO2 reduction is triggered.
