报告摘要:

There is an urgent need for sustainable energy and chemical feedstocks. Here, I will present our work on the application of conjugated materials, namely conjugated microporous polymers, unbranched conjugated polymers and covalent organic frameworks, in photocatalytic hydrogen production to provide clean fuel,^1-5 carbon dioxide reduction to provide essential chemicals from a greenhouse gas,^6,7 and hydrogen peroxide generation.⁸ The talk will provide a broad overview of the area of photocatalysis and the application of conjugated polymers in this area showcasing new opportunities, such as preparing photoactive films and 3D printing photoactive composites.
