Abstract

Carbon nanodots without any modification can drive photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. More importantly, we found that Z-scheme is an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance of carbon nanodots. The photocatalytic H2-evolution rates improve from 4.65 μmol g−1 h−1 to 1330 μmol g−1 h−1 under xenon lamp irradiation.
