Temperature‐ and pH‐Responsive Polymeric Photocatalysts for Enhanced Control and Recovery

The emergence of heterogeneous photocatalysis has facilitated redox reactions with high efficiency, without compromising the recyclability photocatalyst. Recently, stimuli-responsive photocatalytic materials have emerged as a powerful synthetic tool, simple and rapid recovery, well an enhanced dynamic control over reactions. Stimuli-responsive polymers are often inexpensive easy to produce. They can be switched from active “on” state inert “off” in response external stimuli, allowing production photocatalyst adaptability, recyclability, orthogonal on different chemical Despite this versatility, application artificial smart material field not yet been maximized. In Minireview, we will examine recent developments emerging class systems. We discuss synthesis route appending photoactive components into triggerable systems and, particular, controlled activation recovery materials.
