Porous Ru-loaded covalent organic framework nanofluids for fast and scalable continuous-flow photocatalytic oxidations (opens in new tab)

Continuous-flow photocatalysis with heterogeneous catalysts offers a sustainable route for chemical synthesis, but it is limited by catalyst deactivation and inefficient light utilization arising from swelling and pore clogging. Here we develop a high-performance continuous-flow system based on covalent organic framework (COF) nanofluids as porous catalytic dispersions. Two ionic COFs incorporating imine-linked Ru(II)–triphenanthroline photocatalysts are synthesized, featuring triple-helix po...
