Conjugated polymers have recently emerged as a new class of photocatalysts. However, many conjugated polymer photocatalysts are not as effective as inorganic materials due to the limited electronic properties. In the present study, we have demonstrated the photocatalytic activity of conjugated polymer nanocrystals of polydiacetylene (PDA) derivatives for the hydrogen generation.
