“…17,18 The photocatalytic water splitting performance of g-C 3 N 4 is highly limited by certain major flaws such as quick recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, poor optical absorption ability, low electrical conductivity, and poor surface charge utilization. 19,20 To address the aforementioned issues and improve the photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 , various fabrication strategies have been attempted, including elemental doping, 21,22 surface modification, 23,24 and creating heterostructures by merging different materials. [25][26][27] Among these strategies, the construction of heterostructure nanocomposites appears to be the most beneficial because the heterojunction favors the separation of e − /h + pairs, thus increasing the photocatalytic performance and stability.…”

Elemental doping is considered to be a promising approach for altering the electronic structure, optical absorbance, and charge separation characteristics of graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4, termed as CN), thus boosting its photocatalytic performance for practical applications. Herein, a series of boron (B) doped g‐C3N4 (named as BCN) photocatalysts are developed via one‐step pyrolysis of a mixture of urea and 3‐methoxycarbonyl‐5‐nitriophenylboronic acid (MCNPBA). The results show that B‐atoms have been successfully incorporated into the g‐C3N4 network. The as‐synthesized BCN‐x (x shows the weight content of MCNPBA) photocatalysts are evaluated in photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution from water splitting under visible‐light (λ ≥ 420 nm). The optimized BCN‐10 sample shows a maximum H2 evolution rate of 1789.93 µmol h─1 g─1, which is 6.2 times higher than that of g‐C3N4 (289.73 µmol h─1 g─1). This is attributed to the fact that the electron‐deficient B‐atoms are lewis acids that trap electrons, which in turn expands visible‐light absorption, narrows the bandgap, and prevents the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. Moreover, B‐doping can readily modify the valence and conduction band positions of g‐C3N4, therefore augmenting the photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. This paper presents a unique rational framework for developing other functionalized electron‐deficient elemental‐doping g‐C3N4‐based photocatalysts for practical applications in solar‐to‐fuel conversion.

Sunlight has long served as primary energy source on our planet, shaping the behavior of living organisms. Extensive research has been dedicated to unraveling the evolutionary pathways involved. When the formation of Earth atmosphere, it primarily consisted of small gas molecules, which are considered crucial for the emergence of life. Recent demonstrations have shown that these molecules can also be transformed into semiconductors, with the potential to harness solar energy and catalyze chemical reactions as photocatalysts. Building upon this research, this minireview focuses on the potential revolutionary impact of photocatalysis on Earth. Initially, it examines key reactions, such as the formation of prebiotic molecules and the oxygen evolution reaction via water oxidation. Additionally, various C−N complexes in photocatalysts are explored, showcasing their roles in catalyzing chemical reactions. The conclusion and outlook provide a potential pathway for the evolution of Earth, shedding light on the significance of metal‐free photocatalysts in development of Earth.
