Micro-scale spatial location engineering of COF-TiO2heterojunctions for visible light driven photocatalytic alcohol oxidation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/d0ta06442d

Herein, we report the design and fabrication of QH-COF?TiO₂and TiO₂?QH-COF (QH-COF: tetrahydroquinoline-linked COFs) core-shell structured heterojunctions for photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols. For the first time, the spatial loca
