Developing single-atom photocatalysts for selective conversion of CO2 to valuable fuel is of great attraction but remains challenging. In this work, ruthenium and copper single atoms are for the first time simultaneously incorporated into polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) through a simple preassembly-c...
