Abstract:
Conjugated polymers (CPs) are emerging and appealing light harvesters for photocatalytic water splitting owing to their adjustable band gap and facile processing. Herein, we report an advanced mild synthesis of three conjugated triazine-based polymers (CTPs) with different chain lengths by increasing the quantity of electron-donating benzyl units in the backbone. Varying the chain length of the CTPs modulates their electronic, optical, and redox properties, resulting in an enhanced performance for photocatalytic oxygen evolution, which is the more challenging half-reaction of water splitting owing to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Our results could stimulate interest in these functional polymers where a molecular engineering strategy enables the production of suitable semiconductor redox energetics for oxygenic photosynthesis.
