Preparation-Dependent Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution by Organic Semiconducting Nanoparticles

ACS Applied Nano Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(22), С. 25544 - 25555

The molecular packing, intermixing, and crystallinity of organic semiconductors are crucial in determining the performance photovoltaic photocatalytic systems. effects these factors on have been thoroughly investigated for thin-film systems, but not nanoparticulate as control packing has limited is challenging Here, we investigate how miniemulsion (ME), reprecipitation (RP), a cold RP method affect and, turn, nanoparticles (NPs), using nonfullerene acceptor Y6 alongside conjugated polymer donors P3HT PIDT-T8BT. RP-based neat NPs exhibit increased relative to ME-based due greater exciton dissociation. produce hydrogen at rate 8 mmol g–1 h–1, which similar other previously studied high-performing catalysts, without need donor material. P3HT:Y6 low performance, likely high miscibility well mobility holes domains. In contrast, PIDT-T8BT:Y6 significant rates evolution. outperform ME higher degree intermixing. This work highlights carefully consider NP preparation when preparing systems its extensive effect material morphology performance.
