Atomic doping has always been demonstrated as a feasible way to effectively alter the catalytic properties of metal-free electrocatalysts. Herein, we report the first experimental and theoretical investigation regarding the influence of sulfur doping on the activity of a carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 )-ba...
