Conjugated polymers infiltrated with inorganics for photocatalysis

Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photocatalyst system. This system includes a photocatalyst comprising an organic material infused with clusters of an inorganic material diffused throughout a bulk of the organic material, wherein the organic material and the clusters of the inorganic material are configured such that the organic material photosensitizes the inorganic material. Another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of photocatalyzing a reaction. This method includes providing any of the photocatalysts disclosed herein; mixing the photocatalyst with a reactant to form a reaction mixture; and exposing the reaction mixture to a light source.
