Cobalt(ii)-bridged triphenylamine and terpyridine-based donor–acceptor coordination polymer as an efficient trifunctional electrocatalyst

Abstract

We present a novel redox-active hybrid coordination polymer TPA-tpd-Co donor-acceptor pair, synthesized via Schiff-base condensation and self-assembly, where Co(II) is stabilized by triphenylamine and terpyridine ligand. The polymer exhibits a...

Engineering organic polymers as emerging sustainable materials for powerful electrocatalysts

“…Some reported ORR/OER/HER tri-functional electrocatalytic materials include conjugated polymers, 188 MOFs, 356 and graphene/MOFs composites. 189 Among them, the efficient design principle of conjugated polymers is to construct effective functional groups or components that support each reaction.…”

Spatial, well-defined metal-corrole-based covalent organic polymers for remarkably enhanced multipurpose electrocatalysis and high-performance zinc–air batteries

“…By comparison, the ORR catalytic performance of Co-COP was also comparable to that of most reported molecular framework catalysts. 4,68,[79][80][81] Note that the electrocatalytic ORR activity of the blank CB was very poor (Fig. S22 †), and the Co-corrole directly mixed with the CB showed ORR activity at E 1/2 = 0.75 V (Fig.…”

Exploration of cobalt(ii) modification in a phenanthroline-based conjugated organic polymer towards trifunctional electrocatalysis

“…Importantly, the in situ metal stabilization of COP negated the use of supplementary reducing agents. Therefore, we believe that, with strategic selection of donor and acceptor moieties, the design and synthesis of COP with an in situ -harnessed low-cost transition metal 27–31 (Co, Ni, V, Fe) would aid the development of facilely processable, inexpensive, and immensely stable materials for efficient redox activity.…”
