Photocatalytic hydrogenation of biomass-derived organic molecules transforms solar energy into high-energy-density chemical bonds. Reported herein is the preparation of a thiophene-containing covalent triazine polymer as a photocatalyst, with unique donor-acceptor units, for the metal-free photocatalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated organic molecules. Under visible-light illumination, the polymeric photocatalyst enables the transformation of maleic acid into succinic acid with a production rate of about 2 mmol g(-1) h(-1), and furfural into furfuryl alcohol with a production rate of about 0.5 mmol g(-1) h(-1). Great catalyst stability and recyclability are also measured. Given the structural diversity of polymeric photocatalysts and their readily tunable optical and electronic properties, metal-free photocatalytic hydrogenation represents a highly promising approach for solar energy conversion.
