Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with high surface areas, tunable building blocks, and fully conjugated structures have found important applications in optoelectronics. Here, we report a new series of CMPs with tunable band gaps by introducing thiazolo[5,4- d] thiazole as the linkage. Because they are synthetic polymers, the geometries and structures could be rationally designed. Their intrinsic wide visible-light absorption properties and layered architectures endow them with a promising photocatalytic performance. The role of geometries, surface areas, and morphologies of the CMPs in photocatalysis abilities is examined and discussed. The results indicate that geometries have a direct impact on the surface areas and morphologies of the CMPs and thus exert great influence on photocatalysis.
