Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A NiS/C₃N₄ photocatalyst containing earth‐abundant elements only was constructed by means of a simple hydrothermal method. This photocatalyst shows efficient hydrogen evolution (48.2 μmol h⁻¹) under visible light when using triethanolamine as a sacrificial reagent. The optimal loading of 1.1 wt % NiS on C₃N₄ as a cocatalyst can enhance the H₂ production by about 250 times compared with the native C₃N₄. The highest apparent quantum efficiency of 1.9 % was recorded at 440 nm.</p> </abstract>
