Seeking for a suitable cocatalyst to realize highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen (H-2) production is a great challenge in the field of solar energy conversion. Herein, hollow cobalt sulfide (CoSx) polyhedrons derived from ZIF-67 metal-organic frameworks were used as a cocatalyst to enhance the photocatalytic H-2 generation performance of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). The polyhedral morphology with more exposed edges provides more surface active sites for H-2 generation, while the interface between CoSx and g-C3N4 with intimate contact leads to better separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. Moreover, the hollow structure not only favors mass diffusion/transfer, but also induces multiple reflections of light within the hollow cavity, enhancing the utilization efficiency of solar energy. As a result, the obtained CoSx/g-C3N4 composites showed excellent photocatalytic H2 generation activity, achieving a H-2 evolution rate of 629 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) under visible light (lambda >= 400 nm), which was about 52 times higher than that achieved by pure g-C3N4. This work proves that hollow CoSx polyhedrons can be a potential substitute for noble metal cocatalysts for photocatalytic H-2 generation.
