Ammonia-induced robust photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of graphitic carbon nitrideElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c5nr05570a

We report a new and effective method to prepare high activity graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) by a simple ammonia etching treatment. The obtained g-C 3 N 4 displays a high BET surface area and enhanced electron/hole separation efficiency. The hydrogen evolution rates improved from 52 μmol h −1...

Summary:We report a new and effective method to prepare high activity graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) by a simple ammonia etching treatment. The obtained g-C 3 N 4 displays a high BET surface area and enhanced electron/hole separation efficiency. The hydrogen evolution rates improved from 52 μmol h −1 to 316.7 μmol h −1 under visible light. A new and effective method is developed to prepare a high activity g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst by a simple NH 3 etching treatment.
