Abstract

Direct splitting of pure water into H<sub>2</sub>and O<sub>2</sub>in a stoichiometric molar ratio of 2 : 1 by conjugated polymers<italic>via</italic>a 4-electron pathway was established for the first time, as demonstrated here using a g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>polymer and redox co-catalysts of Pt and Co species.
