Photogenerated charge localization on material surfaces significantly affects photocatalytic performance, especially for multi-electron CO2 reduction. Dual single atom (DSA) catalysts with flexibly designed reactive sites have received significant research attention for CO2 photoreduction. However, the charge transfer mechanism in DSA catalysts remains poorly understood. Here we report for the first time a reversed electron transfer mechanism on Au and Co DSA catalysts.
