An Amorphous Carbon Nitride Photocatalyst with Greatly Extended Visible‐Light‐Responsive Range for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

Abstract

Amorphous carbon nitride (ACN) with a bandgap of 1.90 eV shows an order of magnitude higher photocatalytic activity in hydrogen evolution under visible light than partially crystalline graphitic carbon nitride with a bandgap of 2.82 eV. ACN is photocatalytically active under visible light at a wavelength beyond 600 nm.
