Photocatalytic HO production driven by renewable solar energy is a promising and sustainable approach, with porous framework materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) emerging as highly efficient catalysts. This Review first presents the current research state of porous framework materials in HO photosynthesis, focusing on the progress in HO production across different porous frameworks and mechanism insights gained through advanced techniques. Furthermore, a systematic categorization of material modifications aimed at enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency is provided, linking structural modifications to improved HO production performance. Key factors such as charge carrier separation and transfer, reaction pathways, and material stability are comprehensively analyzed. Finally, the challenges related to stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, are discussed alongside opportunities for future advancements. This Review aims to provide insights into understanding and optimizing porous framework materials for efficient and scalable HO photosynthesis.

Photo-stimulated Polymers have garnered significant attention for their potential applications ranging from optical memory to sensing. Herein, by changing coordination metal and the position of nitrogen atom in pyridine-based photo-stimulated ligand, we successfully synthesised a novel photo-stimulated copper-based MOF (Cu-MOF) using 9,10-bis(di(pyridine-3-yl)methylene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene as the photo-stimulated ligand. Structural analysis revealed a 3D porous architecture, offering a distinct advantage over previously reported 1D coordination polymer using similar photo-stimulated ligand.

Purely siliceous MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15, and Ni-containing molecular sieves were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The impact of the Ni loaded by incorporation and impregnation in the framework of molecular sieves on the textural and morphological characteristics of the solids was comprehensively investigated. The incorporation method proved to be more effective in terms of textural and morphological properties; therefore, we also investigated the influence of Ni incorporation on the structure of MCM-41 at different loadings (3, 6 and 9 wt.

Water pollution is a critical environmental issue in modern society, and adsorption is recognized as a straightforward and efficient water purification technique. In this study, three new viologen-based ionic porous organic polymers were designed and successfully synthesized via a simple approach, and their adsorption properties for water pollutants were evaluated. The cationic nature of these polymers, coupled with their large conjugated π-electron system, physicochemical stability, and aromatic backbone, contributes to their high adsorption capacity and rapid adsorption efficiency for anionic contaminants in water such as Methyl Orange, Congo Red, and Cr (VI).
