Abstract The Cover Feature shows a novel synthetic protocol that provides P-, F-co-doped mesoporous carbon nitride (PFCN) with high surface area and lower bandgap. Encouraged by its extended visible light absorption and acid–base bifunctional nature, this new class of catalyst has been explored for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into methanol and thermal catalytic conversion of carbohydrates into high-value furanics compounds.
