A universal atomic layer confined doping strategy is developed to prepare Bi24 O31 Br10 materials incorporating isolated Cu atoms. The local polarization can be created along the CuOBi atomic interface, which enables better electron delocalization for effective N2 activation. The optimized Cu-Bi24...
