Abstract

Abstract : Oxygen-containing porous CN hollow nanotubes were engineered by facile thermal polycondensation of oxalic acid-assisted supramolecular aggregates and revealed superior photocatalytic hydrogen production. Abstract : In this article, we present a sapiential method for producing highly effective oxygen-containing CN with hierarchical porous hollow nanotubes (HTCN) using thermal polycondensation of oxalic acid-assisted supramolecular aggregates. As a result of the synergistic effect of spatial charge separation and optical absorption ability, HTCN outperforms pristine CN nanosheets (NSCN) in photocatalytic hydrogen production. This research will provide a novel cognitive perspective and understanding for constructing contemporary hydrogen production photocatalysts.
