Single-atom hybrid photocatalysts (Co/g-C3N4/C4EOP) composed of hydrophilic calixarene dyes (C4EOP) and graphite-phase carbon nitrite with monodispersed Co atoms (Co/g-C3N4) are prepared by a facile solution impregnation method, and their photocatalytic performances are evaluated in visible light-driven H2evolution from water and CO2conversion. The optimized Co/g-C3N4/C4EOP (1.0 wt%) catalyst exhibits moderate H2production activity (511 μmol g−1h−1) and good durability within 60 h (TONC4EOPvalue of 2255) under visible light. In contrast, the Co/g-C3N4/C4BTP (1.0 wt%) and Co/g-C3N4/M-EOP (1.0 wt%) show much lower activities than Co/g-C3N4/C4EOP (1.0 wt%) under the same conditions. This could be attributed to the higher molar extinction coefficient and better hydrophilicity of C4EOP compared to C4BTP with hydrophobic alkane groups and M-EOP with single D-π-A chain. In addition, Co/g-C3N4/C4EOP (1.0 wt%) catalyst displays highly selective photocatalytic activity for CO2reduction to CO. This work provides a promising example for the development of efficient dye-sensitized photocatalytic system based on g-C3N4with non-noble metal for the chemical utilization of solar energy.
