Owing to the exorbitant overpotential and serious carrier recombination of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄), noble metal (NM) is usually served as the H₂ evolution co-catalyst. Although the NM (such as Pt) nanoparticles can reduce the H₂ evolution overpotential, the weak van der Waals interaction between Pt and g-C₃N₄ makes against the charge transfer. Herein, the solvothermal method is developed to achieve semi-chemical interaction between Pt and g-C₃N₄ nanotube (Pt-CNNT) for fast charge transfer. Moreover, the generated in-plane homojunction of CNNT can accelerate charge separation and restrain recombination. Meanwhile, the metallic Pt is an excellent H₂ evolution co-catalyst. Photo/electrochemical tests verify that the semi-chemical interaction can improve photogenerated charge separation and transferability of CNNT. As a result, the photocatalytic H₂ evolution turnover frequency (TOF) of Pt-CNNT under visible light irradiation reaches up to 918 h⁻¹, which is one of the highest in the g-C₃N₄-based photocatalysts. This work provides a new idea to improve the charge transfer for efficient photocatalytic H₂ evolution.
