摘要

Two donor–acceptor (D-A)-type conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), TT-PA and TT-BPA, are successfully synthesized based on thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (TzTz) as the acceptor unit. The rigid planar structure of TzTz enables close and effective π-π stacking between polymer layers, which benefits interlayer charge transport and enhances photocatalytic performance. The high density of S and N atoms in the TzTz units can act as Lewis base sites to adsorb O2 molecules. Subsequently, TzTz transfers the photogenerated electrons to the adsorbed O2, generating ·O2, which facilitates the 2eoxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway for the photocatalytic production of H2O2 and the degradation of the pollutant Rhodamine B (RhB). PL, EIS and photocurrent data indicate that TT-PA has a lower charge recombination rate and higher charge separation efficiency, stemming from the appropriate size and electron-withdrawing ability of triphenylamine. Therefore, the combination of TzTz and triphenylamine in TT-PA represents the “golden combination” for achieving the best D-A effect, pore structure and photocatalytic performance due to the optimal D/A ratio. This study provides insights into the design of CMP photocatalysts.
