Radicals in carbon nitride are invoked as photocatalytically competent species. However, their structure and localisation is ill-defined. Here we provide a quantitative assessment of speciation, electronic structure, long-range distributions and photo-response of such radicals, as a function of carbon nitride morphology. This work paves the way to the engineering of the defective structure of carbon nitride and related 2D materials.

氮化碳中自旋缺陷的形态和光相关空间分布

氮化碳中的自由基被称为具有光催化活性的物质。然而，它们的结构和定位是不明确的。在这里，我们提供了对这些自由基的形态、电子结构、远程分布和光响应的定量评估，作为氮化碳形态的函数。这项工作为氮化碳和相关二维材料缺陷结构的工程化铺平了道路。
