g-C3N4 coupled with 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine via π–π interactions enhanced visible-light photocatalytic H2 evolution from water splitting

Catal. Sci. Technol., 2023, 13,5456-5461
DOI: 10.1039/D3CY00837A, Paper
Chen-Chuang Li, Ikram Ullah, Gang Wang, An-Wu Xu
The TAPT/CN photocatalysts formed from g-C3N4 and TAPT through π–π interactions and H-bonds to enhance the photocatalytic activity. TAPT act as a hole relay and thus elevate the transfer rate of holes from g-C3N4 to TEOA; this in turn promotes visible-light-driven H2 generation.
