摘要

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) polymers are fascinating as they exhibit unique physical

chemical

mechanical

and electronic properties that are completely different from those of traditional linear or branched polymers. They are very promising for applications in catalysis

separation

optoelectronics

energy storage

and nanomedicine. Recently

ultrathin 2D conjugated polymers have emerged as advanced materials for converting solar energy into chemical energy. The inherent 2D planar structure with in-plane periodicity offers many features that are highly desirable for photon-involved catalytic energy conversion processes

including high absorption coefficients

large surface areas

abundant surface active sites

and efficient charge separation. Moreover

the possibility of finely tuning the optoelectronic and structural properties through precise molecular engineering has opened up new opportunities for design and synthesis of novel 2D polymer nanosheets with unprecedented applications. Herein

we highlight recent advances in developing ultrathin 2D conjugated polymer nanosheets for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Specifically

we discuss emerging applications of ultrathin 2D conjugated polymer nanosheets for solar-driven water splitting and CO

reduction. Meanwhile

future challenges and prospects for design and synthesis of ultrathin 2D conjugated polymer nanosheets for solar fuel generation are also included.
