Research into the development of high-performance and cost-effective visible light active photocatalyst is a hot topic, attracting the attention from scientific community. In the viewpoint of solving the problems including fast photogenerated electron–hole recombination of g-C3N4 and high cost of noble metal-based co-catalysts, this project aims to utilize metalliferous phosphide and other earth-abundant materials as co-catalyst for surface modification of g-C3N4. Moreover, this project will focus on the deposition mechanism of co-catalyst on the surface of g-C3N4, as well as the charge carrier separation and transportation between them. The corresponding hydrogen evolution performance and the concluded performance-strengthening approach will also be comprehensively studied. Furthermore, the effect of preparation procedure of g-C3N4, and class, size and loading content of co-catalyst on the photocatalytic hydrogen revolution performance of the g-C3N4 will be also systematically investigated. The interaction and synergistic effect between g-C3N4 and economic co-catalyst with different sizes, morphologies and nanostructures will also be revealed. The method for in-situ deposition of co-catalyst on the surface of g-C3N4 will be also proposed. In addition, the detailed photocatalytic enhancement mechanism of co-catalyst modified g-C3N4 for hydrogen production will also be elucidated. Finally, low-cost g-C3N4 based composite with high photocatalytic hydrogen revolution performance can be developed, accelerating the practical application of this technology.
