Directed transfer of carriers, akin to excited charges in photosynthesis, in semiconductors by structural design is challenging. Here, TiO2 nanosheets with interlayered sp2 carbon and titanium vacancies are obtained by low-temperature controlled oxidation calcination. The directed transfer of carrie...
