Merged summary

TL;DR - Researchers engineered 2D polymeric carbon nitride photocatalysts to drive charge carriers out of plane, improving overall water-splitting efficiency.

  • Facet-selective nanofilms create internal electric fields within the polymer photocatalyst.
  • These fields promote out-of-plane carrier migration, improving charge transport.
  • The strategy increases the apparent quantum efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting.
