Abstract

/h with an apparent quantum yield of 16% at 420 nm. Theoretical calculations further reveal that the evolution of uranyl sites not only optimizes the photocatalyst electronic structure but also provides highly reactive sites for electron transfer and subsequent activation of oxygen-containing substrates. The immobilization of uranyl on a carbon nitride photocatalyst with promoted photocatalytic performances unlocks a promising paradigm of the synthesis and application of a heterogeneous uranyl-based photocatalyst.
