The chemical structures and crystallinity of the COFs largely remain unchanged even after treating with boiling water(90°C), concentrated acids(12 mol/L HCl) or bases(12 mol/L Na OH), oxidizing(30% H_(2)O_(2)) or reducing agents(1 mol/L NaBH;) for three days due to their stable M-Pc building blocks and resilient dioxin linkers. With metallated phthalocyanine active sites regularly arranged in the stable framework structures, MPc-dx-COFs can be directly used as efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) without pyrolysis treatment that has commonly been used in previous studies.展开更多
