Transitional metals are widely used as co‐catalysts boosting photocatalytic H2 production. However, metal‐based co‐catalysts suffer from high cost, limited abundance and detrimental environment impact. To date, metal‐free co‐catalyst is rarely reported. Here we for the first time utilized density fu...
