Conjugated polymer donor-molecular acceptor nanohybrids for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

A library of 237 organic binary/ternary nanohybrids consisting of conjugated polymers donors and either fullerene or non-fullerene molecular acceptors was prepared and screened for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. PCDTBT/PC60BM nanohybrid showed a high hydrogen evolution rate of 105.2 mmol g(-1)h(-1)under visible light (lambda> 420 nm).
