Efficient ammonia synthesis was achieved by Mo, Pt modified TiO2−x under visible light irradiation. Pt nanoparticles trigger hydrogen spillover from Pt to Mo, enabling facile NH3 assembly and desorption, as well as increasing free Mo active sites.

In this study, a novel fibrous carbon nitride (FCN) was prepared from laminated covalent triazine framework (CTF) via pyrolysis, using functionalized 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid and melamine as the precursors. A carbon vacancy was produced by two-step calcination in argon and air atmospheres. These carbon vacancies further exposed the edges and diffusion channels of the FCN nanofibers, which accelerated photogenerated charge transfer and provided more active sites. The FCN was characterized using various techniques and used for H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation. The as-synthesized FCN exhibited excellent stability, and its photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation was 66 times higher than that of bare C3N4 (BCN), attaining a maximum H2 evolution rate of 102.63 μmol in 6 h. The FCN remained stable following visible-light irradiation at the end of 10 cycles. The FCN benefited from the absorption of solar energy and a large number of active sites. These advantages facilitated the efficient separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs to hinder charge recombination. This work generates new insights into the preparation of highly effective FCN photocatalysts that may be put to various applications, especially in the fields of energy and environment.
