Abstract

C3N5 has emerged as an excellent metal-free photocatalyst for CO2RR due to its narrow bandgap with a lower conduction band edge, which provides high reduction potential to reduce thermodynamically stable CO2 molecules. Surface functionalization and enhanced porosity can yield superior catalytic performance in C3N5.
