Abstract
Defective oxides are attractive for energy conversion and storage applications, but it remains challenging to implant defects in oxides under mild conditions. Here, the authors develop a versatile lithium reduction strategy to engineer the defects of oxides at room temperature leading to enhanced photocatalytic properties.
