Converting CO2 into energy-rich fuels by using solar energy is a sustainable solution that promotes carbon-neutral economy and mitigates our reliance on fossil fuels. However, affordable efficient conversion remains an ongoing challenge. Here, we introduce polymeric g-C3N4 the pores of hollow In2O3 microtube. This architecture results in compact staggered arrangement between components with increased contact interface for improved charge separation. The interior further contributes to strengthening light absorption. resulting g-C3N4-In2O3 tubes exhibit superior activity (274 μmol·g–1·h–1) toward CO comparison those pure (5.5 93.6 μmol·g–1·h–1, respectively), underlining role integrating this advanced system. work offers strategy design preparation heterostructures optimizing adsorption inorganic organic semiconductors.
