Polymer-derived carbon nitrides based photocatalysts are very promising for solar water splitting, CO2 reduction and environmental remediation. However, these photocatalysts still suffer from low visible light utilization efficiency, rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and slow transfer kinetics. Herein, we report a hydrogen peroxide-assisted hydrothermal strategy to synthesize one-dimensional oxygen-doped carbon nitrides (OCN) for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. A possible self-assembly mechanism is discussed. Experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that the as-synthesized one-dimensional OCN possess narrowed band gap energy and optimized band structure, which may allow more effective visible-light harvesting and facilitate photogenerated electron-hole pair separation and transfer. As a result, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates improve from 10.4 mu mol h(-1) to 74.0 mu mol h(-1) under visible light (lambda > 400 nm), which is among the best of the reported CN-based photocatalysts for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution. This study provides a new avenue toward the development of highly efficient carbon nitrides based photocatalysts for photocatalytic applications.
