Polymers with a large π‐electron conjugated system have aroused extensive concern in photocatalysis due to their appropriate bandgap and high stability. In order to overcome such drawbacks as its inadequate visible light absorption and rapid recombination of the photogenerated electron‐hole pairs of graphic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4), a facile strategy is proposed to tune its electronic structure by grafting small molecules. The conjugated photocatalysts were prepared by attaching 3‐Aminobenzoic acid (AB) and 6‐Aminopyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid (APy) to the framework of g‐C3N4 via low‐temperature condensation. The obtained catalysts UCN‐AB and UCN‐APy possess higher visible light absorption that results from the modified band structure by extending π‐electron delocalization. Additionally, AB and APy worked as the electron acceptors which further enhance transport of the photogenerated electrons. The optimal UCN‐AB and UCN‐APy accomplished remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates of 104.0 and 133.2 μmol/h, respectively, which are nearly four or five times of that over g‐C3N4. This work provides a simple and feasible modification approach to extend π‐electron delocalization in g‐C3N4 with a stronger visible light response and accelerated charge transfer for high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
