Reticular design and alkyne bridge engineering in donor–π–acceptor type conjugated microporous polymers for boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…Consequently, research teams worldwide have shied their focus toward developing and applying organic photocatalysts, resulting in rapid advancements in this eld. Notable examples of these organic polymers include graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), 30,31 CMPs, [32][33][34][35][36][37][38] covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs), [39][40][41] polymer dots, 42,43 and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [44][45][46] all of which have been created to produce H 2 from water. Among these options, CMPs have garnered significant attention due to their large easily post-functionalized surface areas, cost-effectiveness, customizable porosities, versatile design, impressive chemical, mechanical, and hydrothermal stabilities, and a wide range of feasible synthetic processes.…”

A review of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials as an effective photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants

“…This combination offers several advantages: (i) POMs exhibit brilliant photosensitivity comparable to semiconductors like TiO 2 ; (ii) the integration of POMs with MOFs enhances material stability in aqueous environments, enabling reusability and reducing the generation of secondary pollutants; (iii) POM-based MOFs provide a versatile platform for designing various hybrid structures and activating catalysts for the degradation of organic dyes. [38][39][40][41][42] Hence, this review aims to explore the current literature on MOFs and POMbased MOF composite photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants under UV and visible light. Lastly, several theoretical analysis approaches such as machine learning (ML) and Kohn-Sham DFT have also been discussed in detail for achieving ultimate photocatalysis performance.…”

Visible light-active binary metal ion containing functional triazine metallopolymers as a stable p-type photo-electrocatalyst in protic electrolytes

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14] Mainly, the photo-and electro-induced CO 2 reduction, H 2 evolution, and O 2 , and N 2 reduction are the crucial cathodic processes involved in m-PCET. 9,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Photoelectrode materials that exhibit p-type behavior and show sustainability in protic media are vital to many important m-PCETs with a concerted reduction reaction mechanism. 22,23 In particular, the photoelectrodes should absorb the visible part of the light and participate in the catalysis during the m-PCET reduction reactions.…”

“…Molecular coordination complexes, metal ion-containing polymers, and metal-organic frameworks have gained substantial attention as electrode materials due to their improved visible light absorption and electrocatalytic activity. 12,13,16,[27][28][29][30][31] The redox-active centers, which are bonded coordinatively with the metal ions of low oxidation states, and surface unsaturation are the crucial needs in the photoinduced-PCET catalysis. In this class of compounds, photoactivity and band gap modulation could be achieved by modifying the organic ligands and the metal center.…”
