However, their efficiency is hindered by fast charge recombination and low photostability. Herein, we proposed a donor structural engineering strategy for improving the photocatalytic activity of D‒A COFs to tackle these problems. Two benzothiadiazole-based D‒A COFs (DHU-COF-BB and DHU-COF-BP) with distinct donors were prepared for photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub> evolution reaction (HER). As a comparison, DHU-COF-TB without benzothiadiazole moieties was also designed and synthesized. Impressively, the photocatalytic H<sub>2</sub> production rate of DHU-COF-BB reaches 12.80 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup> under visible light irradiation (≥420 nm), which was nearly 2.0 and 3.1 times higher than that of DHU-COF-BP (6.47 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) and DHU-COF-TB (4.06 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>), respectively. In addition, the apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of DHU-COF-BB was up to 5.04% at 420 nm. Photocatalytic and electrochemical measurements indicate that the enhanced hydrogen evolution activity of DHU-COF-BB can be ascribed to the introduction of appropriate benzene moiety into the donors, which increases the charge separation efficiency and thereby suppresses the electron‒hole recombination. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that both triphenylamine and benzothiadiazole units are the main active sites for HER over the DHU-COF-BB. This work provides new insight into the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of D‒A COFs by a donor structural engineering strategy.</p>","PeriodicalId":72127,"journal":{"name":"Aggregate (Hoboken, N.J.)","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agt2.669","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, customizing the internal molecular structure of these nanoparticles is quite limited. In contrast, “organic” nanoparticles (oNPs) offer significant potential for incorporating small functional molecules, enabling applications in areas such as luminescence, sensing, and drug delivery.&lt;sup&gt;[&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; Additionally, materials composed of oNPs are less dense, making them suitable for lightweight equipment, for example, for soft robotics. Despite these advantages, realizing oNPs remains a challenge. Most synthetic approaches rely on “bottom-up” methods such as self-assembly. However, in these systems labile interactions can undermine performance and long-term stability under harsh conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a recent breakthrough, Matyjaszewski, Bockstaller, and their teams have developed a new class of oNPs by leveraging macromolecular architecture through concurrent hyperbranching and crosslinking, utilizing atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in microemulsion (Figure 1A).&lt;sup&gt;[&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; Unlike previous work on hyperbranched homopolymers such as poly[2-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy)ethyl methacrylate] (PBiBEM),&lt;sup&gt;[&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; the new method introduces copolymerization with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) to enhance internal rigidity. Within a confined space, these inimer-based oNPs had tunable sizes and mechanical properties through varying crosslinking densities. With BiBEM composition varying from 60 to 90 mol%, the resulting oNPs are spherical macromolecules (&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;n,MALS&lt;/sub&gt; ranged from 2 to 6 million Daltons), with nanometer-scale diameters, uniform distribution, and minimal aggregation after purification. Also, the increasing crosslinker content yielded smaller oNPs (diameters from 17 to 36 nm) with lower dispersity (&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;w&lt;/sub&gt;/&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;), and greater rigidity (Figure 1B). Furthermore, the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic cosurfactant improved uniformity, achieving size dispersity below 3% (Figure 1C).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Due to the high concentration of alkyl bromide ATRP functionality from the inimer BiBEM and the retention of polymer chain-end functionality via ATRP, these oNPs are well suited as effective macroinitiators for surface-initiated ATRP (Figure 1D).
