Conjugated polymers as photocatalysts for hydrogen therapy

Abstract

Hydrogen as a therapeutic agent has attracted a great deal of attention because of its superior therapeutic outcome on many diseases, including inflammatory injury, tumors, metabolic disorders, and neurological diseases. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution has emerged as a promising strategy for hydrogen production and delivery. This review article presents the recent developments in the design and synthesis of conjugated polymer materials, including linear polymers and crosslinked conjugated materials, for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Particularly, we focus this review on the development of conjugated polymers as photocatalysts and the resulting hydrogen therapy in the fields of anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and cancer treatment. Finally, this article discusses the future research and perspective of conjugated polymer materials for hydrogen evolution and the potential clinical applications of hydrogen as a therapeutic agent.

Keywords
