Carbon‐Rich Carbon Nitride with Synergistic Gd‐N 4 Sites and Z‐Scheme Heterojunction for Non‐sacrificial Hydrogen Peroxide Photosynthesis

Abstract Carbon nitride (CN), a highly promising photocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) production, still suffers from rapid electron‐hole recombination and sluggish kinetics in both the O 2 reduction reaction (ORR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR). Here, a molecular engineering strategy enables the controlled synthesis of carbon and Gd‐N 4 single‐atoms co‐incorporated CN nanotubes. Subsequently, a Z‐scheme heterojunction is constructed via electrostatic self‐assembly with Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets (BWO). The optimized composite exhibits exceptional performance in visible‐light‐driven H 2 O 2 synthesis (749.5 µmol g −1 h −1 ) in pure water, achieving a 37‐fold enhancement compared to pristine CN. Moreover, the apparent quantum yield (AQY) reaches an impressive 11.13% at 420 nm. The enhanced activity is primarily attributed to the synergistic effects of C/Gd co‐incorporation and the Z‐scheme heterojunction, which collectively promote the separation of photogenerated charges in CN. Particularly, the unsaturated coordination Gd‐N 4 sites effectively facilitate O 2 adsorption and the 2e − ORR pathway, enabling efficient H 2 O 2 production. Meanwhile, BWO enhances the WOR, thus improving the matching efficiency of redox reactions in the system. This study establishes a facile molecular engineering strategy for single‐atoms anchoring with tailored coordination environments, while highlighting the critical role of redox dual‐regulation in achieving efficient H 2 O 2 photosynthesis.
