Porous g-C3N4nanosheets (PCN) were prepared by the nickel-assisted one-step thermal polymerization method. Hydrogen (H2) which was produced by the reaction between nickel (Ni) foam and ammonia (NH3) defined the structure and properties of PCN. During the formation of PCN, the participation of H2not only enhanced the spacing between layers but also boosted the specific surface area that more active sites were exposed. Additionally, H2promoted pores formation in the nanosheets, which was beneficial to the transfer of photons through lamellar structure and improved the absorption efficiency of visible light. Remarkably, the obtained PCN possessed better Cr(VI) photocatalytic reduction efficiency than pure g-C3N4. The reaction rate constant (k) of PCN (0.013 min−1) was approximately twice that of bare g-C3N4(0.007 min−1). Furthermore, the effects of original pH and concentration of Cr(VI)-containing solution on removal efficiency of Cr(VI) were explored. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the experiments of radical scavengers and photoelectrochemical characterizations.
