We report the utilization of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to in situ quantify the photo-oxidation reaction kinetics on g-C3N4. The wrinkle structure shows the highest reactivity and direct dissociation rate. The basal plane exhibits the highest affinity to reactants and products and indir...
