At room temperature,the conversion of greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals using metal-free catalysts for dry reforming of methane(DRM)is quite promising and challenging.Herein,we developed a novel covalent organic porous polymer(TPE-COP)with rapid charge separation of the electron-hole pairs for DRM driven by visible light at room temperature,which can efficiently generate syngas(CO and H2).Both electron donor(tris(4-aminophenyl)amine,TAPA)and acceptor(4,4',4",4('")-((1 E,1'E,1"E,1('")E)-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4,1-diyl))tetrakis(ethene-2,1-diyl))tetrakis(1-(4-formylbenzyl)quinolin-1-ium),TPE-CHO)were existed in TPE-COP,in which the push-pull effect between them promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-hole,thus greatly improving the photocatalytic activity.Density functional theory(DFT)simulation results show that TPE-COP can form charge-separating species under light irradiation,leading to electrons accumulation in TPE-CHO unit and holes in TAPA,and thus efficiently initiating DRM.After 20 h illumination,the photocatalytic results show that the yields reach 1123.6 and 30.8 μmol g-1 for CO and H2,respectively,which are significantly higher than those of TPE-CHO small molecules.This excellent result is mainly due to the increase of specific surface area,the enhancement of light absorption capacity,and the improvement of photoelectron-generating efficiency after the formation of COP.Overall,this work contributes to understanding the advantages of COP materials for photocatalysis and fundamentally pushes metal-free catalysts into the door of DRM field.
