Abstract:0D/2D heterojunctions, especially quantum dots (QDs)/nanosheets (NSs) have attracted significant attention for use of photoexcited electrons/holes due to their high charge mobility. Herein, unprecedent heterojunctions of vanadate (AgVO3, BiVO4, InVO4 and CuV2O6) QDs/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) NSs exhibiting multiple unique advances beyond traditional 0D/2D composites have been developed. The photoactive contribution, up-conversion absorption, and nitrogen coordinating sites of g-C3N4 NSs, highly dispersed vanadate nanocrystals, as well as the strong coupling and band alignment between t
