We present the creation of internal n-p homojunctions in polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) by inserting phenyl groups, which bridge the adjacent tri-s-triazine moieties, into the PCN matrix through copolymerization methods. The linkage by the benzene rings results in a large π-conjugated structure and...
