| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Metal-free polythiophene derivatives was developed as high-rate photocatalysts for hydrogen and H2O2 production at high pH; achieved by structure control during a solid state polymerization process.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The realization of efficient and practical production of “solar fuels” is crucial for transfer from fossil sources to renewable ones. The discovery that simple organic semiconductors acts as combined light harvesters and highly efficient photocatalysts can guide the research towards practical usage.
