Realizing the regulated carrier separation and exciton generation of Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀<i>via</i> a carbon doping strategy

Abstract

A novel carbon doping strategy induced by an organic salt is successfully developed. Improved carrier separation and exciton binding energies (<italic>E</italic>_b) are achieved on C-doped Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀, which provides excellent photocatalytic CO₂ reduction and persistent ¹O₂ generation.
