The short exciton diffusion length () associated with most classical organic photocatalysts (5-10 nm) imposes severe limits on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency. Here, a photovoltaic molecule (F1) without electron-deficient units at the central building block was designed and synthesized to improve the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). With the enhanced PLQY of 9.3% and a large integral spectral overlap of 3.32 × 10 nm M cm, the average of F1 film increases to 20 nm, nearly twice the length of the control photovoltaic molecule (Y6). Then, the single-component organic nanoparticles (SC-NPs) based on F1 show an optimized average hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 152.60 mmol h g under AM 1.5G sunlight (100 mW cm) illumination for 10 h, which is among the best results for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
大多数传统有机光催化剂的激子扩散长度较短(5-10纳米),这对光催化析氢效率造成了严重限制。在此,设计并合成了一种在中心结构单元中没有缺电子单元的光伏分子(F1),以提高光致发光量子产率(PLQY)。随着PLQY提高9.3%以及积分光谱重叠度达到3.32×10纳米·厘米,F1薄膜的平均激子扩散长度增加到20纳米,几乎是对照光伏分子(Y6)长度的两倍。然后,基于F1的单组分有机纳米颗粒(SC-NPs)在AM 1.5G太阳光(100毫瓦/平方厘米)照射10小时的条件下,显示出优化后的平均析氢速率(HER)为152.60毫摩尔·小时·克,这是光催化析氢的最佳结果之一。
