Abstract:

Wholly distinct from conjugated polymers which are featured by generic charge transfer capability stemming from a conjugated molecular structure, solid nonconjugated polymers mediated charge transport has long been deemed as theoretically impossible because of the deficiency of π electrons along the molecular skeleton, thereby retarding their widespread applications in solar energy conversion. Herein, we first conceptually unveil that intact encapsulation of metal oxides (e.g., TiO2, WO3, Fe2O3, and ZnO) with an ultrathin nonconjugated polyelectrolyte of branched polyethylenimine (BPEI) can unexpectedly accelerate the unidirectional charge transfer to the active sites and foster the defect generation, which contributes to the boosted charge separation and prolonged charge lifetime, ultimately resulting in considerably improved photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation activities. The interfacial charge transport origins endowed by BPEI adornment are elucidated, which include acting as a hole-withdrawing mediator, promoting vacancy generation, and stimulating the directional charge flow route. We additionally ascertain that such charge transport characteristics of BPEI are universal. This work would unlock the charge transfer capability of nonconjugated polymers for solar water oxidation. The nonconjugated insulating polymer was utilized as a charge transport mediator for boosting charge migration and separation over metal oxides toward solar water oxidation. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
