Abstract

A low-cost photocatalytic system composed of earth-abundant elements has been synthesized, with the nickel–thiourea–triethylamine catalyst in situ formed on the C₃N₄ photocatalyst, which exhibits a comparable H₂ production with a C₃N₄–Pt photocatalytic system and a long term photocatalytic activity.
