The incorporation of metal single-atom into covalent organic frameworks facilitates co-reactant activation and charge transport enhancing electrochemiluminescence, however, can also trigger intramolecular electron transfer quenching that degrades the electrochemiluminescence efficiency. Here the authors achieved the coordination of silver atom into pyrene phenanthroline covalent organic frameworks, breaking the catalysis-quenching dilemma of metals and thereby achieving enhanced electrochemiluminescence performance.
