Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) has a suppressive capability toward Alzheimer's Aβ aggregation under light‐illumination. Photoinduced electrons of g‐C 3 N 4 generate reactive oxygen resulting in photooxidation of amyloid peptides that blocks Aβ aggregation. Fe doping of g‐C 3 N 4 frameworks results in enhanced optical properties and even stronger inhibition of Aβ aggregation.
