Abstract:
The interaction between humans and the natural environment presents multifaceted challenges. The exploitation of fossil fuel resources has resulted in substantial global carbon emissions, leading to unforeseeable natural concerns. Additionally, the potential toxicities of numerous new materials remain largely undocumented, giving rise to unpredictable ramifications. To address these issues, there is a pursuit of materials characterized by low toxicity, reduced costs, and sustainable properties. This report introduces innovative materials based on thiophene-conjugated electronic systems. The investigation meticulously assessed the influence of halogen substitution, polymers, light absorptivity, and nano-metal composite interactions. The emerging materials displayed robust electronic characteristics with sustainable properties and potential for enhancing catalytic processes in energy fields, especially, in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). These materials were characterized using spectroscopic, microscopic, phase-identifying, surface area, and electrochemical methodologies. |
