Photocatalyst-Incorporated Cross-Linked Porous Polymer Networks

The utilization of sunlight to conduct chemistry has been on a stark rise in the era sustainability. A similar trend is observed polymer science, mainly initiate polymerization and modify materials, but mostly relying soluble initiator/activator molecules. Semiconductors, other hand, grant platform for “photoredox” induced chemical pathways, so that reductive oxidative reactions (as well as radical formation) can be tailored according band positions. Despite their dispersed or dissolved phases, immobilization semiconductors macroscale solid surfaces attractive entail scale-up options. In this Review, incorporated cross-linked porous networks will summarized both from synthesis application perspectives.
