Precisely designing the atomic coordination structure of the catalytic center is highly desired to lower the energy barrier of CO2 photoreduction. The present work shows that engineering Nb single atom coupled Bi-O vacancy pairs (VBi-O) into Bi24O31Br10 (BOB) atomic layers can create a preferential...
