One‐dimensional phenanthroline‐based covalent organic framework bearing single cobalt atoms for efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction by Lv‐Ye Ai, Qian Wang, Xiao‐Wen Chen, Guo‐Fang Jiang

“…Subsequently, a metalated 1D COF, Co SAS/PAD‐COF, is constructed using the bidentate ligand properties of PBA and anchoring the single Co atoms in PAD‐COF through a post‐synthetic modification strategy. This complex significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of PAD‐COF, and the CO yield of the optimized Co SAS/PAD‐COF was stable at 3091 µmol g−1 h−1 with a selectivity of 93%, which is approximately 43.7 times that of the original PAD‐COF. …”
