The photocatalytic activity of remained stable in four consecutive cycles, suggesting that it has a potential application prospect for the removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in the actual environment. Under the condition of pH=3, the Cr(Ⅵ) reduction rate of was as high as 99.19% in 30min. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was assessed by reducing Cr(Ⅵ) in model pollutant (K2Cr2O7). In the current work, a sequence of anatase/brookite with different mass ratios, bi-phase TiO2 and bare COF were successfully synthesized by simple hydrothermal synthesis. The discharge of industrial heavy metal wastewater not only leads to environmental pollution, but also harms human health, so it is imperative to control heavy metal pollution. This study offers a promising pathway for the construction of an efficient heterogeneous catalyst of oxygen-mediated RAFT polymerization and extends the novel applications of porphyrin-based COF materials. Notably, porphyrinic COFs can be straightforwardly separated and recycled for recycling experiments and exhibit remarkable compatibility features of controllable polymerization for functional monomers under aerobic conditions. The control experiments revealed excellent dual control behavior of light and gas toward polymerization processes. In this contribution, oxygen-mediated RAFT polymerization was achieved by using M-TCPP-DHTA-COFs (M = H2 or Zn) as photocatalysts with the assistance of TEA as co-catalyst producing polymers with accurate molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution under visible light irradiation. The already tailored structure endows COFs with ordered dimensional channels for the separation and migration of the electro-hole pairs and improves their photocatalytic properties.


Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained increasing attention as heterogeneous materials for their prominent applications in photocatalytic processes.
