Stability
1) It can maintain its crystallinity and skeleton structure after being treated with KOH solution for 3 days, showing good chemical stability. There is no mention of its stability in other solutions.
2) In terms of thermal stability, both Azo - COFs are stable below 300 °C, and the thermal decomposition temperature (15% weight loss) is higher than 400 °C.
Preservation
1) Store in a dry and sealed condition at room temperature or low temperature.
2) Activation method not mentioned, follow the conventional preservation precautions.
Other Features
1) Fluorescence: Not mentioned.
2) It has photo - responsiveness. Under UV light driving, the Azo - COF - PET composite film can respond rapidly (< 10 s), and the bending directions of Azo - COF - 1 - PET and Azo - COF - 2 - PET films are different. It has good photothermal conversion efficiency (up to 79.3 °C for Azo - COF - 1 - PET and 85.5 °C for Azo - COF - 2 - PET) and reusability under near - infrared light irradiation. Azo - COF shows good performance as an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst in alkaline electrolyte, with a half - wave potential of 0.68 V vs. RHE, high ORR catalytic activity, and good stability, with a retention rate of 94.8% in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte after 15 hours. The unsaturated N=N bond endows Azo - COF with typical D - A properties, a small HOMO - LUMO energy gap (2.28 eV) and a band gap (2.0 eV), which is beneficial to charge transfer. Azo - COF has a moderate adsorption strength for oxygen intermediates, with an oxygen - binding energy of 1.52 eV, close to the optimal value of 1.81 - 2.88 eV, and its O₂ adsorption capacity is larger than that of Py - COF without unsaturated bonds.
Applications
1) Used to prepare light - driven soft actuators to achieve efficient UV light driving.
2) Can be used as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the field of green energy technology.
3) With its photothermal conversion performance, it can play a role in the field of photothermal materials.
