Unguided electron transfer presents challenges for selectively photo-reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) into C2 products. We constructed continuous inter- and intra-component electric fields within photocatalysts by in situ chemical encapsulation. The dual-tandem electric fields facilitate charge separat...
