Rational design of carbon nitride photocatalysts by identification of cyanamide defects as catalytically relevant sites

Graphitic carbon nitride is a promising hydrogen evolution photocatalyst, although there is limited understanding of its mechanistic operation. Here, the authors employ molecular heptazine-based model catalysts to identify catalytically relevant defects and to rationally design a highly active carbo...
