Facile construction of phosphate incorporated graphitic carbon nitride with mesoporous structure and superior performance for H2 production

Novel mesoporous phosphate incorporated g-C3N4 (CNM-Px) was firstly synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal-calcination method, with phosphate incorporated into the framework of g-C3N4. The as-fabricated CNM-Px samples exhibited superior and stable photocatalytic H2 evolution activity both under simulated sunlight and visible light irradiation.280
