1,3,5-Triazine and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone based conjugated porous polymers for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Abstract

Organic conjugated porous polymers, triazine-Ph-CPP and triazine-Th-CPP, are synthesized and characterized. Without further addition of co-catalysts, triazine-Ph-CPP exhibits a HER of 16 287 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ and an apparent quantum yield of 61.5% at 365 nm, which demonstrates that the dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone and 1,3,5-triazine based polymer is a unique prototype of a highly efficient hydrogen evolution photocatalyst.
