A library of 237 organic binary/ternary nanohybrids consisting of conjugated polymers donors and both fullerene and non-fullerene molecular acceptors was prepared and screened for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. These donor-acceptor nanohybrids (DANHs) showed significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution rates compared with the parent donor or acceptor compounds. DANHs of <a></a><a>a polycarbazole</a>-based donor combined with a methanofullerene acceptor (PCDTBT/PC<sub>60</sub>BM) showed a high hydrogen evolution rate of 105.2 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> under visible light (λ > 420 nm). This DANH photocatalyst produced 5.9 times more hydrogen than a sulfone-containing polymer (P10) under the same conditions, which is one of the most efficient organic photocatalysts reported so far. An apparent quantum yield of hydrogen evolution of 3.0 % at 595 nm was measured for this DANH. The photocatalytic activity of the DANHs, which in optimized cases reached 179.0 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>, is attributed to efficient charge transfer at the polymer donor/molecular acceptor interface. We also show that ternary donor<sub>A</sub>-donor<sub>B</sub>-acceptor nanohybrids can give higher activities than binary donor-acceptor hybrids in some cases.

Illustration of the charge transfer associated with the development of HOMO and LUMO levels in conjugated polymers and that the electron donating and withdrawing powers depend on the collective of atoms that carry the frontier orbitals involved in the charge transfer process.

Conjugated polymers with LUMO levels of −4.00 eV combined with a newly designed perylene bisimide compound with a LUMO level of −4.56 eV were found to have efficient charge transfer and provide power conversion efficiencies up to 1.4% in solar cells.
