    Abstract:
    The reasonable construction of heterojunction photocatalysts with clear nanostructures and a good interface contact especially the one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) composite heterojunction with unique morphology is considered one of the most effective strategies for designing highly efficient photocatalysts. Herein, a series of the 1D β-keto-enamine-based covalent organic framework (COF)/2D g-C3N4 composite materials COF-CN (1:x; where 1:x represents the mass ratio of COF and g-C3N4, x = 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20) is prepared through the in situ reaction of 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) in stripped g-C3N4 suspension. A series of characterizations, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), have verified their 1D/2D heterojunction structure. With the introduction of 1D COF nanobelts, the absorption of the composite is largely extended to 560 nm. Photocatalytic experiments reveal that the composite COF/CN shows evidently superior photocatalytic performance than individual COF and g-C3N4. The optimized COF-CN (1:10) exhibits a H2 production rate of 12.8 mmol g-1·h-1 under visible-light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation, which is about 62 and 284 times higher than those of COF and g-C3N4, respectively. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of COF-CN (1:10) is about 15.09% under 500 nm light irradiation, which is one of the highest among previous COF- or g-C3N4-based materials. This work provides important strategies for designing and constructing high-efficiency heterojunction photocatalysts with multidimensional features.
