Self-assembled nanobelt photocatalysts with quinacridone containing different alkyl chains as donor and pyridine dicarboxylic acid as acceptor were firstly developed for H2 evolution. SQAP-C4 without cocatalyst of Pt exhibited HER of 656 μmol h−1 g−1.
Engineering heteroatoms that precisely positioned in covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) can dramatically enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CTFs and is thus an effective strategy to improve the photocatalysis performance for porous organic polymers (POPs).
