In this paper, an atom- and step-economic direct C-H arylation polymerization (DArP) strategy was developed to access cyanostyrylthiophene (CST)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers (CPs) used for photocatalytic hydrogen production (PHP) from water reduction. The new CST-based CPs - with varied building blocks were systematically studied by X-ray single-crystal analysis, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis, photoluminescence, transient photocurrent response, cyclic voltammetry measurements, and a PHP test, which showed that the phenyl-cyanostyrylthiophene-based exhibits a superior hydrogen evolution rate (7.60 mmol h g) compared to other conjugated polymers. The structure-property-performance correlation results obtained in this study will provide an important guideline for the rational design of high-performance D-A CPs for PHP applications.
本文开发了一种原子经济性和步骤经济性的直接 C-H 芳基化聚合（DArP）策略，用于构建基于氰基取代噻吩（CST）的给体-受体（D-A）共轭聚合物（CPs），用于从水还原中进行光催化制氢（PHP）。通过 X 射线单晶分析、FTIR、扫描电子显微镜、UV-vis、光致发光、瞬态光电流响应、循环伏安法测量和 PHP 测试，系统地研究了具有不同结构单元的新型 CST 基 CPs，结果表明基于苯基-氰基取代噻吩的聚合物表现出较高的制氢速率（7.60 mmol h g），优于其他共轭聚合物。本研究中获得的结构-性能-相关性结果将为用于 PHP 应用的高性能 D-A CP 的合理设计提供重要指导。
