Heterogeneous photocatalysis have been deemed as a versatile and colorful platform for exploring efficient transformation systems. Henceforth, the design of photocatalysts underpin a wide range of research interests. By virtue of synthetic versatility, stability, non-toxicity, purely organic properties, tunable semiconductive structures and remarkable visible-light absorbance, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have emerged as an attractive new class of semiconductor materials that show great potential for tackling important energy and environmental challenges. Over the past decade, immense efforts over the past decade have been devoted toward the construction of CMPs-based photocatalysts for versatile photocatalytic transformations. In this outlook, we aim to summarize the latest representative advances in the field of carbazolic CMPs, focusing on various design strategies for the construction of tailor-made skeletons that have direct impact on their charge dynamics and thus photocatalytic performances, especially on their specific photocatalytic efficiency for organic transformations. . Scrutinizing the photocatalytic features and elucidating the related design principles, we fully described how structure modification of polycarbazoles could have an effect on optical properties, and thus on photocatalytic performance. Furthermore, we identify the bottlenecks that need to be addressed, and the future research directions of CMPs in the area of photocatalysis. This article is protected by copyright.
