Chain-section engineering enables electron delocalization for efficient photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis in d-glucuronolactone-derived polymers†
Abstract
The all-carbon chain polymer, synthesized via Schiff-base reaction of biomass-derived monomers, enhances electron delocalization/mobility, achieving 3453 μmol g−1 h−1 H2O2 yield. It reveals *OOH formation via imine-quinone/hydroxyl synergy, guiding the design of low-cost biomass catalysts for green H2O2 production.
