Infrared response in photocatalytic polymeric carbon nitride for water splitting via an upconversion mechanism

Photocatalysts with broad-spectrum light activation are needed for high efficiency water splitting. Here, an upconversion process in oxygen-doped carbon nitride nanosheets contributes to enhanced photocatalytic activity under both visible and infrared light.
