Covalent organic framework without cocatalyst loading for efficient photocatalytic sacrificial hydrogen production from water.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Metals are typically essential as either integral components within photocatalysts or as cocatalyst modifiers to enable efficient artificial photosynthesis, such as water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction. However, developing photocatalysts that function effectively without metal cocatalysts remains challenging due to their cost and scarcity. Here we show a nonstoichiometric β-ketoenamine-linked covalent organic framework that operates without cocatalysts, achieving hydrogen production rates of 15.48 mmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ from seawater and 22.45 mmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ from water with an ascorbic acid scavenger under visible light. It outperforms many reported platinum-modified covalent organic frameworks and metal-containing inorganic photocatalysts. The enhanced performance is attributed to its broad light absorption edge extending to approximately 660 nm, efficient charge separation, and the presence of abundant active oxygen sites derived from carbonyl groups, which exhibit a low hydrogen-binding Gibbs free energy change. This work lays the groundwork for designing cost-effective photocatalytic systems suitable for large-scale hydrogen production.
