A sulfonic acid-functionalized donor–acceptor conjugated organic polymer for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production†
Abstract
A sulfonic acid-functionalized conjugated organic polymer named BMS was synthesized to boost H2O2 photosynthesis. Sulfonic acid groups enhanced hydrophilicity, O2 adsorption, and charge transfer, enabling a H2O2 production rate of 2.59 mmol g−1 h−1 in air and pure water, and a rate of 3.08 mmol g−1 h−1 under O2-saturated conditions.
