Orthogonal Charge Transfer by Precise Positioning of Silver Single Atoms and Clusters on Carbon Nitride for Efficient Piezocatalytic Pure Water Splitting

Cheng Hu et al.

Summary: In this study, efficient piezocatalytic systems for two-electron water splitting with producing H-2 and H2O2 were developed using Ag single atoms and clusters co-anchored on carbon nitride. Ag single atoms enhanced the in-plane piezoelectric polarization, while Ag clusters promoted the out-of-plane migration of piezoelectrons. Additionally, the system exhibited a larger piezoresistive effect, leading to increased carrier mobility. As a result, the system demonstrated superior H-2 and H2O2 evolution rates compared to previously reported piezocatalysts.
