Abstract:Photocatalysts based on organic heterojunction nanoparticles (NPs) have recently attracted a rising interest for photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution (PHE), which demands an in-depth understanding of the correlation between their molecular structure and PHE properties. In this work, three n-type, small-molecule electron acceptors, namely ITIC, IT-4F, and IDMIC, with varied end groups and alkyl chain lengths are utilized to prepare organic heterojunction NP photocatalysts with the p-type electron donor PM6,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
