Molecular Structural Design of Conjugated Microporous Poly(Benzooxadiazole) Networks for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity with Visible Light

Abstract

A simple structural design principle and band position alignment of conjugated microporous polymers for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency is presented. The valence and conduction band positions of the polymer networks can be fine-tuned by altering the substitution positions on the centered phenyl unit to match the required redox potential of the catalytic reactions under visible light.
