"Revolutionizing Hydrogen Peroxide Production: Organic Framework Mimics Photosynthesis for Sustainable Chemistry"
Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a new photocatalytic method for producing hydrogen peroxide using a novel covalent organic framework, mimicking the process of photosynthesis with water and air. This energy-efficient and environmentally friendly approach contrasts with traditional methods, offering a clean route for H2O2 production. The breakthrough involves the construction of hexavalent covalent organic frameworks that demonstrate high-rate photo-induced charge generation and catalytic active sites, achieving unprecedented photocatalytic efficiency.
