The reduction of CO2 with visible light is a highly sustainable method for producing valuable chemicals. The function-led design of organic conjugated semiconductors with more chemical variety than that of inorganic semiconductors has emerged as a method for achieving carbon photofixation chemistry. Here, we report the molecular engineering of triazine-based conjugated microporous polymers to capture, activate and reduce CO2 to CO with visible light. The optical band gap of the CMPs is engineered by varying the organic electron-withdrawing (benzothiadiazole) and electron-donating units (thiophene) on the skeleton of the triazine rings while creating organic donor-acceptor junctions to promote the charge separation. This engineering also provides control of the texture, surface functionality and redox potentials of CMPs for achieving the light-induced conversion of CO2 to CO ambient conditions.
