Molecular Junction Photocatalysts in Graphitic Carbon Nitride: Precise Characterization of Built-in Electric Fields and Challenges in Spatial Charge Separation
Journal of Advanced Materials Research | Volume 2, Issue 2: 119-141, 2026 | DOI: 10.62762/JAMR.2026.848022
Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C$_3$N$_4$) has garnered interest as a versatile photocatalytic platform owing to its tailorable electronic architecture; however, its solar-to-chemical conversion is bottlenecked by high exciton binding energies and slow charge-carrier transport. To circumvent these impediments, the construction of ``molecular junctions'' within the conjugated polymeric scaffold enables atomically precise modulation of spatial electron configurations. Unlike conventional heterostructures relying on physical contact, molecular junctions employ robust covalent bridging, facilitating molecular orbital hybridization and $\pi$-conjugation. This review summarizes recent advances in mol... More >
