Abstract
Light presents substantial potential in disease treatment, where the development of efficient photocatalysts could enhance the utilization of photocatalytic systems in biomedicine. Here, we devised a novel approach to designing and synthesizing photocatalysts of conjugated polymers for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, relying on a multiple linear regression model built with theoretically calculated descriptors. We established a logarithmic relationship between molecular structure and CO yield and identified the poly(fluorene-co-thiophene) deviant (PFT) as the optimal one. PFT excited a CO regeneration ratio of 231 nmol h-1 in acetonitrile and 46 nmol h-1 in an aqueous solution with a reaction selectivity of 88%. Further advancements were made through the development of liposomes encapsulating PFT for targeted macrophage delivery. By distributing PFT on the liposome membranes, our constructed photocatalytic system efficiently generated CO in situ from surrounding CO2. This localized CO production served as an endogenous signaling molecule, promoting the desirable polarization of macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype. Consequently, the M2 cells reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β). We also demonstrated the efficacy of our system in treating lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation of cardiomyocytes under white light irradiation. Moreover, our research provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate processes involved in CO2 reduction by a combination of theoretical calculations and experimental techniques including transient absorption, femtosecond ultrafast spectroscopy, and in situ infrared spectroscopy. These findings pave the way for further advancements of conjugated polymers and photocatalytic systems in biomedical investigation.

Abstract
The emergence of heterogeneous photocatalysis has facilitated redox reactions with high efficiency, without compromising the recyclability of the photocatalyst. Recently, stimuli-responsive heterogeneous photocatalytic materials have emerged as a powerful synthetic tool, with simple and rapid recovery, as well as an enhanced dynamic control over reactions. Stimuli-responsive polymers are often inexpensive and easy to produce. They can be switched from an active "on" state to an inert "off" state in response to external stimuli, allowing the production of photocatalyst with adaptability, recyclability, and orthogonal control on different chemical reactions. Despite this versatility, the application of artificial smart material in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis has not yet been maximized. In this Minireview, we will examine the recent developments of this emerging class of stimuli-responsive heterogeneous photocatalytic systems. We will discuss the synthesis route of appending photoactive components into different triggerable systems and, in particular, the controlled activation and recovery of the materials.

Abstract
A photocatalyst comprising binary organic polymer dots (Pdots) was prepared. The Pdots were constructed from poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole), as an electron donor, and 1-[3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]-1-phenyl-[6.6]C61 , as an electron acceptor. The photocatalyst produces H2 O2 in alkaline conditions (1 M KOH) with a production rate of up to 188 mmol h-1 g-1 . The external quantum efficiencies were 30 % (5 min) and 14 % (75 min) at 450 nm. Furthermore, photo-oxidation of methanol by Pdots, followed by a disproportionation reaction and an oxidation reaction, produced the high-value chemical formate. On the basis of various spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements, the photophysical processes of the system were studied in detail and a reaction mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Typical organic semiconductors show a high trap density of states (1016-1018 cm-3), providing a large number of centers for charge-carrier recombination, thus hindering the development of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Here, we introduce a strategy of designing and synthesizing two-dimensional-polycyclic photovoltaic material, named as TPP, to reduce the trap density as low as 2.3×1015 cm-3, which is 1-3 orders of magnitudes lower than those of typical organic photovoltaic semiconductors. Moreover, TPP exhibited broad and strong absorption, ordered molecular packing with large crystalline coherence length and enhanced electron mobility. Then, the bulk heterojunction nanoparticles (BHJ-NPs) based on the blend of polymer donor (PM6) and TPP, exhibited an average hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 72.75 mmol h-1 g-1, which is higher than that of the control NPs based on typical PM6:Y6 (62.67 mmol h-1 g-1) tested under 330-1100 nm illumination with light intensity of 198 mW cm-2.

Abstract
Organic semiconducting polymers exhibited promising photocatalytic behavior for hydrogen (H2) evolution, especially when prepared in the form of polymer dots (Pdots). However, the Pdot structures were formed using common nonconjugated amphiphilic polymers, which have a negative effect on charge transfer between photocatalysts and reactants and are unable to participate in the photocatalytic reaction. This study presents a new strategy for constructing binary Pdot photocatalysts by replacing the nonconjugated amphiphilic polymer typically employed in the preparation of polymer nanoparticles (Pdots) with a low-molecular-weight conjugated polyelectrolyte. The as-prepared polyelectrolyte/hydrophobic polymer-based binary Pdots truly enhance the electron transfer between the Pt cocatalyst and the polymer photocatalyst with good water dispersibility. Moreover, unlike the nonconjugated amphiphilic polymer, the photophysics and mechanism of this photocatalytic system through time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) and transient absorption (TA) measurements confirmed the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the polyelectrolyte as a donor and the hydrophobic polymer as an acceptor. As a result, the designated binary Pdot photocatalysts significantly enhanced the hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 43 900 μmol g-1 h-1 (63.5 μmol h-1, at 420 nm) for PTTPA/PFTBTA Pdots under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Directly converting sunlight into hydrogen fuels using particulate photocatalysts represents a sustainable route for clean energy supply. Organic semiconductors have emerged as attractive candidates but always suffer from optical and exciton recombination losses with large exciton "dead zone" inside the bulk material, severely limiting the catalytic performance. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy that combines a scalable flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) method with hydrophilic soluble polymers (PC-PEG5 and PS-PEG5) to prepare highly efficient nanosized photocatalysts without using surfactants. Significantly, a 70-fold enhancement of hydrogen evolution rate (HER) is achieved for nanosized PC-PEG5, and the FNP-processed PS-PEG5 shows a peak HER rate of up to 37.2 mmol h-1 g-1 under full-spectrum sunlight irradiation, which is among the highest results for polymer photocatalysts. A scaling-up production of nanocatalyst is demonstrated with the continuously operational FNP.

Abstract
From the understanding of biological processes and metalloenzymes to the development of inorganic catalysts, electro- and photocatalytic systems for fuel generation have evolved considerably during the last decades. Recently, organic and hybrid organic systems have emerged to challenge the classical inorganic structures through their enormous chemical diversity and modularity that led earlier to their success in organic (opto)electronics. This Minireview describes recent advances in the design of synthetic organic architectures and promising strategies toward (solar) fuel synthesis, highlighting progress on materials from organic ligands and chromophores to conjugated polymers and covalent organic frameworks.

Abstract
In pursuit of inexpensive and earth abundant photocatalysts for solar hydrogen production from water, conjugated polymers have shown potential to be a viable alternative to widely used inorganic counterparts. The photocatalytic performance of polymeric photocatalysts, however, is very poor in comparison to that of inorganic photocatalysts. Most of the organic photocatalysts are active in hydrogen production only when a sacrificial electron donor (SED) is added into the solution, and their high performances often rely on presence of noble metal co-catalyst (e.g. Pt). For pursuing a carbon neutral and cost-effective green hydrogen production, unassisted hydrogen production solely from water is one of the critical requirements to translate a mere bench-top research interest into the real world applications. Although this is a generic problem for both inorganic and organic types of photocatalysts, organic photocatalysts are mostly investigated in the half-reaction, and have so far shown limited success in hydrogen production from overall water-splitting. To make progress, this article exclusively discusses critical factors that are limiting the overall water-splitting in organic photocatalysts. Additionally, we also have extended the discussion to issues related to stability, accurate reporting of the hydrogen production as well as challenges to be resolved to reach 10 % STH (solar-to-hydrogen) conversion efficiency.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is viewed as a promising green strategy to utilize the inexhaustible solar energy and provide clean hydrogen fuels with zero-emission characteristic. The nature of semiconductor-based photocatalysts is the key point to achieve efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Conjugated materials have been recently emerging as a novel class of photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution and photocatalytic reactions due to their electronic properties can be well controlled via tailor-made chemical structures. Hydrophilic conjugated materials, a subgroup of conjugated materials, possess multiple advantages for photocatalytic applications, thus spurring remarkable progress on both material realm and photocatalytic applications. This minireview aims to provide a brief review of the recent developments of hydrophilic conjugated polymers/small molecules for photocatalytic applications, and special concern on the rational molecular design and their impact on photocatalytic performance will be reviewed. Perspectives on the hydrophilic conjugated materials and challenges to their applications in the photocatalytic field are also presented.

Abstract
Selective activation of photocatalysts under constant light conditions has recently been targeted to produce multi-responsive systems. However, controlled activation, with easy recovery of the photocatalysts, induced by external stimuli remains a major challenge. Mimicking the responsiveness of biological systems to multiple triggers can offer a promising solution. Herein, we report dual-responsive polymer photocatalysts in the form of nanogels consisting of a cross-linked poly-N-isopropylacrylamide nanogel, copolymerised with a photocatalytically active monomer. The dual-responsive polymer nanogels undergo a stark decrease in diameter with increasing temperature, which shields the photocatalytic sites, decreasing the activity. Temperature-dependent photocatalytic formation of NAD+ in water demonstrates the ability to switch photocatalysis on and off. Moreover, the photocatalysed syntheses of several fine chemicals were carried out to demonstrate the utility of the designed material.

Abstract
Donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers have proved to be desired candidates to couple with inorganic semiconductors for enhanced photocatalytic activity. Herein, the matched energy levels between polymer BFB and TiO2 make them form BFB-TiO2 composites with moderate photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (HER). To further enhance the interfacial interaction, BFB was modified with a carboxylic acid end group, which reacted with surface OH of TiO2 to form an ester bond. As a result, the functionalized BFBA-TiO2 composites exhibited superior photocatalytic activity. Especially, HER of 4 % BFBA-TiO2 can reach up to 228.2 μmol h-1 under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm), which is about 2.02 times higher than that of BFB-TiO2 . The enhanced photocatalytic activity originated from the formed ester bond between polymer and TiO2 , and photogenerated electrons injection from lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the exited polymer to conduction band of TiO2 were accelerated. Therefore, based on an intermolecular interaction mechanism, more suitable D-A conjugated polymers with anchoring groups could be designed to couple with other semiconductors for enhancing photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
To take advantage of high surface area of network conjugated microporous polymers, four linear or network conjugated polymers L-PDBT, L-PDBT-O, N-PDBT, and N-PDBT-O are designed in terms of water-compatibility, and it turned out that microporous network N-PDBT-O exhibited the highest hydrogen evolution rate (HER) at 366 µmol h-1 under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm, one of best reported pristine polymer-based photocatalysts), which is three times higher than the corresponding linear L-PDBT-O. Water contact angle measurements revealed that benzothiophene-sulfone-based conjugated polymers display better water compatibility and adsorption, and the synergic effect of better hydrophilic surface and higher surface area of N-PDBT-O might eventually lead to more exposed active sites in comparison to linear L-PDBT-O in the H2 evolution suspension system. The hydrophilicity-controlled strategy could be applied to design of other network conjugated microporous polymer photocatalysts in an attempt to improve the activity.

Abstract
Three dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide-based alternating copolymers were synthesized by facile Suzuki polymerization for visible light-responsive hydrogen production from water (> 420 nm). Without addition of any cocatalyst, FluPh2-SO showed a photocatalytic efficiency of 3.48 mmol h-1 g-1 , while a larger hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 4.74 mmol h-1 g-1 was achieved for Py-SO, which was ascribed to the improved coplanarity of the polymer that facilitated both intermolecular packing and charge transport. To minimize the possible steric hindrance of FluPh2-SO by replacing 9,9'-diphenylfluorene with fluorene, Flu-SO exhibited a more red-shifted absorption than FluPh2-SO and yielded the highest HER of 5.04 mmol h-1 g-1 . This work highlights the potential of dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide as a versatile building block and the rational design strategy for achieving high photocatalytic efficiency.
