摘要
The introduction of metal single atoms(SAs)and nanoparticles(NPs)are effective approaches to mod-ify electronic configuration of semiconductors,whereas recognizing the synergistic effects of metal SAs and NPs are still challenging in photocatalytic water purification.Herein,a general strategy is achieved by subsequentially anchoring Fe SAs and Fe NPs in graphitic carbon nitride.The modification of Fe SAs and Fe NPs improves the energy band structure and constructs a gradient charge polarization,directly expanding the optical absorption range and facilitating the efficient separation and transfer of charge car-riers.With the assistance of the gradient charge polarization,pollutants are readily oxidated by h+,which strengthens the continuous reduction of O2 on Fe NPs for pollutant oxidation in water.This work rein-forces the synergistic effect of SAs and NPs on electronic configuration modulation at the atomic level,which exhibits great potential for the construction of an efficient and sustainable water purification sys-tem.
