Facile synthesis of photocatalysts with highly dispersed metal centers is a high-priority target yet still a significant challenge. In this work, a series of Co-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts with different Co contents atomically dispersed on g-C 3 N 4 have been prepared via one-step thermal treatment of co...
