The synergy between metal alloy nanoparticles (NPs) and single atoms (SAs) should maximize the catalytic activity. However, there are no relevant reports on photocatalytic CO2 reduction via utilizing the synergy between SAs and alloy NPs. Herein, we developed a facile photodeposition method to coloa...
