Abstract:
Direct photocatalytic water splitting is an attractive strategy for clean energy, in which, organic photocatalytic systems with broad light-harvesting region and efficient charge separation are highly desired and still challenging. In this paper, three multi-branched organic dyes were designed and synthesized with dipolar, V-shaped, and octupolar geometries, respectively. The multiple intramolecular charge transfer processes by electronic pull-push effect along the branches can provide more channels for light-harvesting and carrier transporting. Also, the interactions with polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) can be optimized by multiple anchoring units and defect filling effect, resulting in the gradually enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance with the increased number of branches. Accordingly, the highest one of 996.9 mu mol h(-1) was achieved, which is over 40-folders that of PCN/Pt (24.8 mu mol h(-1)) under the same conditions. It provides an efficient strategy for molecular design of organic dyes as photocatalyst, promoting development of PHE system from the molecular level.
