Described herein are compositions and methods for the storage and release of hydrogen gas using covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Advantageously, the compositions and methods described herein may be used for the facile and rapid release of hydrogen gas at near ambient temperatures. The described COFs allow for photoactivation, where the release of gas is initiated or the rate of release is increased with the COF is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, for example, UV light.

Photo triggered covalent organic frameworks and methods of using

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a repeat unit defined by where each of R, R, R, R, R, R, R, and Rincludes at least one of a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, and/or a first hydrocarbon chain having between 1 and 20 carbon atoms, inclusively, where each of A, A, Aand Aare either a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, when Ais a nitrogen atom, Ais a carbon atom, when Ais a nitrogen atom, Ais a carbon atom, when Ais a nitrogen atom, Ais a carbon atom, when Ais a nitrogen atom, Ais a carbon atom, either Aor Aform a covalent bond, x, with a carbon atom, a, either Aor Aform a covalent bond, y, with a carbon atom, b, L is a linker group that includes an aromatic ring, and n is between 1 and 20, inclusively.
