N-Doped carbon hybrid conjugates as vectors for photocatalytic CS₂ production

Nanostructured carbon materials have attracted much attention, because the doping or modification can efficiently induce charge delocalization and tune the work function of carbon. Herein, we report that N-doped carbon hybrid conjugates are highly sensitive in photocatalytic CS₂ production due to the energy transfer and electron transfer between carbon and organic ligands. The key towards success was opening a new avenue for the cheap and rapid release of a potential therapeutic agent using carbon materials as vectors. (paper)
