Recent advances in phenazine-linked porous catalysts toward photo/electrocatalytic applications and mechanism

In recent years,porous organic catalysts have been developed and become research hotspots in photo/electrocatalysis due to their inherent pores,high specific surface area,chemical and thermal stability,and diverse functional building blocks.Phenazine-linked organic catalysts,exhibited excellent conjugation,electrical conductivity,chemical,and thermal stability,could bring in N atoms with specific numbers and positions to regulate electron levels,anchor metals,and absorb near-infrared light,which expands solar energy utilization.These advantages of the phenazine-linked catalysts attracted our group and numerous researchers to conduct experimental and computational work on photo/electrocatalytic applications and mechanisms.This review summarizes the recent significant research progress,synthesis methods,photo/electrocatalytic performance,and applications of relative phenazine-linked catalysts.Furthermore,the photo/electrocatalytic mechanism was systematized and summarized by combining experiments and density functional theory calculations simultaneously.
