Abstract

We report the utilization of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to in situ quantify the photo-oxidation reaction kinetics on g-C₃N₄. The wrinkle structure shows the highest reactivity and direct dissociation rate. The basal plane exhibits the highest affinity to reactants and products and indirect dissociation rate constant, followed by edges and wrinkles.
