2D carbon nitride nanosheets have attracted ever-increasing interest in photocatalysis due to their unique structural advantages. However, the synthesized by traditional methods, such as post oxidation and liquid exfoliation, suffered from in-plane disorder with abundant defects, which seriously counteracts benefits for photocatalysis.

Poly (triazine imide) (PTI/Li+ Cl- ), one of the crystalline versions polymeric carbon nitrides, holds great promise for photocatalytic overall water splitting. In principle, activity PTI/Li+ is closely related to morphology, which could be reasonably tailored by modulation polycondensation process.

In situ photo-deposition of both Pt and CoOx cocatalysts on the facets poly (triazine imide) (PTI) crystals has been developed for photocatalytic overall water splitting. However, undesired backward reaction (i.e., formation) noble surface is a spontaneously down-hill process, which restricts their efficiency to run splitting reaction. Herein, we demonstrate that could be largely promoted by decoration Rh/Cr2 O3 as H2 O2 evolution cocatalysts, respectively. Results reveal dual greatly...
