Bithiophene-Linked Conjugated Polymers Featuring Intrinsic Active Sites for Efficient Solar-Driven Hydrogen Production

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the hydrogen production efficiency of two designed bithiophene-linked conjugated polymers.
• Development of two bithiophene-linked conjugated polymers, PTTT and PTTB
• Assessment of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity
• Comparison of efficiency between the two polymers
• PTTT showed approximately fourfold higher hydrogen production activity than PTTB
• Increased efficiency attributed to more effective intrinsic active sites in PTTT
