Metal-Coordinated Porphyrin COFs Enable Efficient Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic NADH regeneration

Key Points

• This research aims to develop and evaluate porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as photocatalysts for NADH regeneration using visible light.
• Synthesis of three different porphyrin-based COFs
• Assessment of their visible light responsiveness
• Evaluation of NADH regeneration efficiency under light exposure
• The synthesised COFs effectively absorb visible light
• These frameworks display enhanced photocatalytic activity for NADH regeneration
• Higher regeneration rates observed compared to traditional methods
