All-alike hollow nanotubes of g-C3N4 converting photons into fuel by splitting water

In this article, we present a sapiential method for producing highly effective oxygen-containing CN with hierarchical porous hollow nanotubes (HTCN) using thermal polycondensation of oxalic acid-assisted supramolecular aggregates. As a result of the synergistic effect of spatial charge separation and optical absorption ability, HTCN outperforms pristine CN nanosheets (NSCN) in photocatalytic hydrogen production. This research will provide a novel cognitive perspective and understanding for constructing contemporary hydrogen production photocatalysts.
