Abstract

K/Co co-doped carbon nitride nanocrystals (KCoCN) enable visible-light-driven H2 evolution (550 μmol/g/h) coupled with furfuryl alcohol (FFA) oxidation to furoic acid (FA, 148 μmol 89% conversion) without sacrificial agents. Mechanism studies reveal that KCoCN accelerates proton reduction to H2 and promotes FFA oxidation to FA through a hole-driven radical mechanism.
