Amide-Bridged Conjugated Organic Polymers: Efficient Metal-Free Catalysts for Visible-Light-Driven CO2 Reduction with H2O to CO

Visible-light-driven photoreduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals over metal-free photocatalysts without sacrificial reagents is very interesting, but challenging. Herein, we present amide-bridged conjugated organic polymers (Amide-COPs) prepared via self-condensation of...

Acetylene-linked conjugated polymers for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water

Conjugated organic polymers have shown potential as photocatalysts for hydrogen production by water splitting. Taking advantage of a high throughput screening workflow, two series of acetylene-linked co-polymers were prepared and...

Multipath Oxygen-Mediated PET-RAFT Polymerization by Conjugated Organic Polymers Photocatalyst under Red LED Irradiation

In this contribution, we propose a novel multipath aerobic-mediated reductive quenching pathway (O-RQP) for PET-RAFT polymerization process, where in situ production of superoxide anion radical from molecular oxygen was achieved...

Photocatalytic syngas production using conjugated organic polymers

A range of linear conjugated polymers is reported that promote simultaneous photocatalytic CO2 reduction and proton reduction with a sacrificial hole-scavenger.
