Abstract:To further enhance the hydrogen evolution activity of g-C 3 N 4 , Au nanoparticle (NP)-modified defective-state g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet photocatalysts (Au/HCN) were successfully prepared through in situ photodeposition in this study. The prepared Au/HCN exhibited an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Under full spectrum, the hydrogen production rate of Au/HCN (7289 μmol•g −1 •h −1 ) was 1.6 times higher than that of Au NPsmodified pure g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (Au/CN) (4437 μmol•g −1 •h −1 ) and 4.3… Show more
