Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the conceptual design of a D‐π‐A‐type mesoporous carbon nitride as an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. The mesoporous structure, extended conjugate effects, and intramolecular charge transfer lead to synergistically boosted optical absorption capability and enhanced photo‐generated carrier separation. In addition, other simple aromatic heterocyclic compounds (i.e. pyridine, thiophene, and furan‐based D‐π‐A structures) with higher hydrogen evolution rates are also explored to broaden the application of designing novel photocatalysts. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Z. Sun et al on page 1325 in Issue 7, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201802890 ).
