Owing to the specific electronic-redistribution and spatial proximity, diatomic catalysts (DACs) have been identified as principal interest for efficient photoconversion of CO2 into C2H4. However, the predominant bottom-up strategy for DACs synthesis has critically constrained the development of highly ordered DACs due to the random distribution of...

Development of highly efficient and metal‐free photocatalysts for bacterial inactivation under natural light is a major challenge in photocatalytic antibiosis. Herein, we developed an acidizing solvent‐thermal approach for inserting a non‐conjugated ethylenediamine segment into the conjugated planes of 3,4,9,10‐perylene tetracarboxylic anhydride to...

It is highly desirable but challenging to realize efficient photoreforming of plastic waste over metal-free semiconductors. Here, we synthesized metal-free carbon nitride porous microtube (CNxPM) photocatalysts by carrying out a pyrolysis of the supramolecular assembly formed by the self-assembly of L-arginine (L-Arg) and melamine, the modification...

Near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven overall water splitting beyond 800 nm remains a high‐priority target yet great challenge. Here we report that efficient utilization of photogenerated electrons in a photosensitized system prepared by site‐selective photodeposition of platinum single atoms/clusters (Pt‐SACs) on Ni‐phytate (PA‐Ni)‐sensitized polymeric...

Inefficient minority carrier extraction and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics are two principal contradictions restricting photoelectrochemical water oxidation. Here, the aforementioned restrictions could be simultaneously alleviated by coupling ultrathin black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets, taking the monoclinic WO3 nanoflake array as...

Grafting π-conjugated donor units into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) represents a promising alterative to improve its light absorption range and charge transfer kinetics. To this end, we here report an efficient intramolecular g-C3N4-based conjugated copolymers via the one-spot thermal copolymerization for not only reduces the bandgap to 2.56 e...

Z-Scheme photocatalytic overall water splitting based on an oxygen production photocatalyst (OPP) and a hydrogen production photocatalyst (HPP) provides a promising opportunity for the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy. Herein, a novel all solid-state 2D-2D Z-scheme photocatalytic system is designed and constructed by coupling black p...
