Research topics from publications: Modulating dual carrier-transfer channels and band structure in carbon nitride to amplify ROS storm for enhanced cancer photodynamic therapy. Representative work: Graphite carbon nitride (CN) eliminates cancer cells by converting H 2 O 2 to highly toxic •OH under visible light. However, its in vivo applications are constrained by insufficient endogenous H 2 O 2 , accumulation of OH − and finite photocarriers. We designed Fe/N V -CN, co-modified CN with nitrogen vacancies (N V ) and ferric ions (Fe 3+ ). N V and Fe 3+ , not only adjust the band structure of CN through quantum confinement effect and the altered coupled oscillations of atomic orbitals to facilitates •OH production by oxidizing OH − , but also construct dual carrier-transfer channels for electrons and holes to respective active sites by introducing stepped electrostatic potential and shor
