Research team from Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes Publishes in Nature Communications on One-Step In-Situ Construction of Dual-Defect Photocatalysts for Enhanced Activity

The "Light Alloy and Rare Element Separation" research group at the Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes (ISL), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved significant progress in the field of environmental photocatalysis. In a collaborative study published in Nature Communications, researchers have developed a novel strategy for the one-step in-situ construction of anionic and cationic dual defects. By leveraging defect engineering to create defect dipoles, the team successfully induced nanoscale-enhanced built-in electric fields, thereby driving efficient carrier transport and separation.
