Reasonable regulation of the interaction between metal center and the ligand to achieve a high-density atomic loading without agglomeration has been the formidable challenge to the development of single-atom catalysts (SACs). Herein, an advanced photocatalyst based on N-vacancy (Nv) tubular porous g...
