Conjugated microporous polymers for task‐specific photocatalysis

Abstract Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), distinguished by their extended π ‐conjugated backbones, nontoxicity and micropore characteristics, provide notable benefits in the development of heterogeneous catalysis systems for task‐specific transformations. This review aims to summarize the up‐to‐date advances in the field of photocatalysis by CMPs, with a particular focus on the applications of CMPs in photocatalytic hydrogen precipitation, pollutant degradation and organic transformation in the last 5 years. Meanwhile, this review also summarizes the major challenges in this field and gives suggestions for the feasible direction of development. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
