Visible-light-driven hydrogen production through photocatalysis has attracted enormous interest owing to its great potential to address energy and environmental issues. However, photocatalysis possesses several limitations to overcome for practical applications, such as low light absorption efficiency, rapid charge recombination, and poor stability of photocatalysts. Here, the preparation of efficient noble metal–semiconductor hybrid photocatalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production is presented. The prepared ternary Rh–TiO2–CeO2 hybrid photocatalysts exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance toward the hydrogen production reaction compared with their counterparts, ascribed to the synergistic combination of Rh, TiO2, and CeO2.

Our well-designed nano-WO3@LZU1 composite photocatalysts were fully characterized. Under simulated sunlight, the hybrid materials showed much higher photocatalytic activity for BBR degradation and MB degradation than WO3 or LZU1, and improved hydrogen production capacity.

By facilely pre-implanting Co[Formula: see text] ions in the graphene oxide, a novel 5,15-diphenyl-10,20-di(4-pyridyl)porphyrin pillared graphene oxide was fabricated by means of electrostatic interaction and coordination interaction. It was shown that the morphology and the structure of graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite were modified by introducing Co[Formula: see text] ions on the interface between graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin. Furthermore, it was found that the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity over the Co[Formula: see text] ions implanted in the graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite was evidently higher than in the graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite without Co[Formula: see text]. This confirmed that strong interaction and efficient electron transfer between pyridylporphyrin and graphene oxide are the important reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. Subsequently, this technique will be a simple and efficient approach to optimize the transfer pathway of photogenerated electrons and to improve photocatalytic performance by implanting metal ions in the interface of nanocomposites.

In this study, we prepared carbon self-doped carbon nitride nanosheets through a glucose synergic co-condensation method. In the carbon self-doped structure, the N atoms in the triazine rings were substituted by C atoms, resulting in enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production, which is three-times higher than that of bulk carbon nitride. The enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production was attributed to the higher charge-carrier transfer rate and widened light absorption range of the carbon nitride nanosheets after carbon self-doping. Thus, this work highlights the importance of carbon self-doping for improving the photocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, it provides a feasible method for the preparation of carbon self-doped carbon nitride without destroying the 2D conjugated backbone structures.
