Self-regulating Photocatalytic Materials Based on pH-responsive Block Copolymers (B05+)

该项目开发光催化材料，其中催化中心的活性或可访问性由外部参数控制，如pH值或温度。这最终将导致复合材料提供最佳的反应条件，以延长周期。我们将把基于Ru或Rene的光敏剂和基于Pt或Co的催化剂共同集成到胶体聚合物模型中，在这种模型中，环境条件的变化会导致溶胀度或电荷密度的改变。这些结构转变将通过理论建模来描述。

The project develops photocatalytic materials where activity or accessibility of a catalytic center is controlled by external parameters such as pH value or temperature. This will ultimately lead to composites which provide optimum reaction conditions for prolonged periods. We will co-integrate Ru- or rylene-based photosensitizers and Pt- or Co-based catalysts into colloidal polymer models where changing environmental conditions lead to modification of swelling degree or charge density. These structural transitions will be described by theoretical modeling.
