The role of vacancy associates in photocatalytic CO2 reduction is an open question. Herein, the Nb─O vacancy associates (VNb─O ) are engineered into niobic acid (NA) atomic layers to tailor the CO2 photoreduction performance. The intrinsic charge compensation from O to Nb around Nb─O vacancy associa...
