摘要
The urgent need to replace conventional fossil fuels with clean energy has stimulated a large number of research efforts on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution[1−4].Alternatively,organic semiconductors with tunable light absorption,well-positioned band edges,and excellent charge separation are highly expected[5−8].Conventionally,a semiconductor material with a wide band gap has a larger exciton binding energy,while a semiconductor material with a narrow band gap has a smaller exciton binding energy[9].Since smaller exciton binding energies are favorable for exciton separation,choosing a semiconductor with a suitable bandgap seems to be the first step toward high solar-to-hydrogen efficiency.The tunable light-harvesting ability determines the advantage and potential of organic semiconductors as photocatalysts.However,the insufficient external quantum efficiency(EQE)and the un-derlying photophysical mechanism remain restricting the orientation toward industrialization[10].
