Abstract

In order to address the challenging need of energy, climate change and environmental protection, the production of photocatalytic hydrogen is, relatively, the best choice due to its abundance. Various nanomaterials and bionanomaterials, such as conjugated polymers (CPs), have been recently been found to be promising alternatives for photocatalysts due to their unique properties, including economical, high stability, tunable optoelectronic properties and efficient physicochemical properties. This chapter summarizes the introduction of photocatalytic water splitting, the use of CPs as photocatalysts and their scope for advancement.
