The reaction of calcium carbide with water has been widely used as a source of acetylene for the synthesis of organic molecules. In contrast with this traditional approach, we use the CaC2 reaction under water-starved conditions and show reactions th...

Carbon nitride (C3N4) possesses both a band gap in the visible range and a low-lying conduction band potential, suitable for water splitting and CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR). Yet, bulk C3N4 (b-C3N4) suffers from structural disorder leading to slug...
