Synergistic Roles of Hydroxyl Groups and Coordinating Ligands in Governing Metal-Specific Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction in Covalent Organic Framework

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction is often framed in terms of metal identity, yet the decisive factor governing reactivity remains the local coordination environment in which that metal is embedded. Here, we demonstrate that a covalent organic framework (COF) can be engineered to encode a hydroxyl–ligand cooperative...
