Harnessing atomic-scale defect engineering in 2D photocatalysts: synergistic integration of nanocomposite architectures for bandgap tuning and charge transfer optimization.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The urgent global need for sustainable energy and effective environmental remediation has propelled photocatalysis to the forefront of materials research. Two-dimensional (2D) photocatalysts, empowered by atomic-scale defect engineering, have revolutionized this field by enabling precise bandgap tuning, enhanced charge separation, and the creation of abundant active sites. This review systematically explores the synergistic integration of defect-rich 2D materials into advanced nanocomposite architectures such as Type-II, Z-scheme, and Schottky heterojunctions, highlighting how these strategies overcome the intrinsic limitations of pristine 2D systems. We detail the roles of vacancies, dopants, edge sites, and grain boundaries in modulating the electronic structure and reactivity and examine how rational composite design further amplifies these effects through optimized interfacial charge transfer and band alignment. Comparative analyses of recent open-access studies underscore the superior photocatalytic efficiencies achieved by heterojunction-engineered 2D photocatalysts and membranes in applications ranging from solar fuel generation (H
