Heterojunctions based on two-dimensional benzodithiophene (BDT) and thieno[2,3-f]benzofuran (TBF) conjugated polymers/g-C3N4 were fabricated using a symmetry-breaking strategy. PD3 with a fluorinated benzotriazole electron acceptor unit exhibited higher charge mobility and more compact π-π stacking. PD5 with asymmetric side chains in the donor unit BDT demonstrated efficient charge transfer and comparable light utilization rate in the corresponding PD5/g-C3N4 heterojunction. PD5/g-C3N4 showed superior photocatalytic sterilization performance with high degradation rates for S. aureus, E. coli, and Rhodamine B. This study provides insights into the structure-property correlation of asymmetric conjugated polymers/g-C3N4 for potential photocatalysis applications.
Heterojunctions based on conjugated polymers (PHJs) are of promise as photocatalysts. Here, we fabri-cate the two-dimensional benzodithiophene (BDT) and thieno[2,3-f]benzofuran (TBF) based conjugated polymers/g-C3N4 PHJs creatively using the symmetry-breaking strategy. PD1 and PD3 with the asymmet-ric backbone TBF have better crystallinity. Moreover, PD3 utilizing fluorinated benzotriazole as the elec-tron acceptor unit possesses more compact p -p stacking and higher charge mobility. The conjugated polymer PD5 with asymmetric side chains in the donor unit BDT guarantees more efficient charge trans-fer in the corresponding PD5/g-C3N4 PHJ while maintaining comparable light utilization rate. Consequently, PD5/g-C3N4 shows the champion performance with photocatalytic sterilization rates reaching 99.1% and 97.3% for S. aureus and E. coli. Notably, the reaction rate constant for Rhodamine B degradation of PD5/g-C3N4 is 8 times that of g-C3N4, a record high among conjugated polymers/g-C3N4. This study aims to reveal the structure -property correlation of asymmetric conjugated polymers/g-C3N4 for potential photocatalysis applications.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
