Customizing precise, tunable, and universal cascade charge transfer chains towards versatile photoredox catalysis.

ABSTRACT: The core factors dictating the photocatalysis efficiency are predominantly centered on controllable modulation of anisotropic spatial charge transfer/separation and regulating vectorial charge transport pathways. Nonetheless, the sluggish charge transport kinetics and incapacity of precisely tuning interfacial charge flow at the nanoscale level are still the primary dilemma. Herein, we conceptually demonstrate the elaborate design of a cascade charge transport chain over transition metal chalcogenide-insulating polymer-cocatalyst (TIC) photosystems via a progressive self-assembly strategy. The intermediate ultrathin non-conjugated insulating polymer layer, i.e., poly(diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), functions as the interfacial electron relay medium, and simultaneou
