Description
Résumé:Covalent organic polymers (COPs) are powerful candidates for achieving the visible-light-driven degradation of organic pollutants by virtue of structural designability, but their synthesis relies on harmful reagents and high temperatures, which weakens their associated green merits. Here, we report a novel strategy for combining sonochemistry with ion induction for the rapid preparation of acridine-functionalized COPs in green and mild aqueous solutions with tunable high yields of 80 to 90%. Photochemical studies reveal the ability of these COPs to harvest visible light and their sufficient conduction potentials for generating superoxide radicals. Furthermore, the photodegradation of methylene blue confirms the good photocatalytic activity and reusability of the zinc ion-based acridine-functionalized COP, which achieves 90.8% removal in 150 min and retains 82.5% activity after 5 reuse cycles, with a rate constant of up to 3.2 times that of commercial titanium dioxide nanoparticles. This strategy paves the way for the green, rapid, and mild synthesis of acridine-functionalized COPs, enabling visible light photocatalytic degradation for water treatment and energy conversion to advance in a thoroughly environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner
