“…21,22 However, current synthetic strategies for conning Ru NCs in nitrogen-doped carbon matrices include annealing at high temperature (>700 °C) under the erosive NH 3 atmosphere, pulsed laser deposition, and the coupling of multi-step procedures, which obviously suffer from limitations of tedious process, insufficient controllability, and poor universality. [23][24][25] Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), a nitrogen-rich carbon matrix, has attracted more attention due to its high abundance, low cost and accessible preparation features. 26,27 Furthermore, nitrogen vacancies (V N ) can be easily introduced into g-C 3 N 4 during its synthesis, which can efficiently modulate the electronic structure and charge transfer.…”
