Abstract

Read online

Surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) provide a unique class of active sites that enable efficient gas-phase CO2 photocatalysis. How to tailor the reactivity of the SFLPs represents a major challenge, which the authors address here by single-site Bi3+ ion substitution of the SFLPs.
