It is significant to realize the synergistic effect of single-atom sites and its support to obtain excellent performance photocatalysts. Here, single-atom silver (SAAg) is embedded into the hierarchical tremella-like carbon nitride (3DT-CN) by an efficient one-step reduction method. The photo-degrad...
