A metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photosystem based on covalent organic framework (COF) semiconductors was designed for robust and efficient hydrogen evolution under visible-light irradiation A maximal H2 evolution rate of 8.42 mmol h-1 g-1 and a turnover frequency of 789.5 h-1 were achieved by using a MIS photosystem prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) insulator-capped Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with the hydrophilic imine-linked TP-COFs having =C=O-H-N= hydrogen-bonding groups. The hot π-electrons in the photoexcited n-type TP-COF semiconductors can be efficiently extracted and tunneled to Pt NPs across an ultrathin PVP insulating layer to reduce protons to H2. Compared to the Schottky-type counterparts, the COF-based MIS photosystems give a 32-fold-enhanced carrier efficiency, attributed to the combined enhancement of photoexcitation rate, charge separation, and oxidation rate of holes accumulated in the valence band of the TP-COF semiconductor. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde(cas: 34374-88-4Formula: C9H6O6)
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde(cas: 34374-88-4) is a member of phloroglucinol derivatives. Regarding monomeric phloroglucinols, this group encompasses acryl phloroglucinols, phloroglucinol-terpene adducts, phloroglucinol glycosides, halogenated phloroglucinols, prenylated phloroglucinols, and cyclicroup polyketides.Formula: C9H6O6
