Methylation‐Induced Permanent Charge Polarization in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Visible Light‐Driven Water Decontamination and Disinfection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A targeted in situ methylation strategy is developed to engineer cationic centers in a quinoline‐linked COF (NQ‐COFS1‐Me), creating a strong built‐in electric field, which effectively suppresses excitonic effects and promotes charge separation. The optimized material demonstrates powerful photocatalytic ROS generation for rapid bacterial inactivation ...
