Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution in the Presence of Plasmonic Au-Photo-Sensitized g-C3N4 with an Extended Absorption Spectrum from 460 to 640 nm.

Extensively spectral-responsive photocatalytic hydrogen production was achieved over g-C3N4 photo-sensitized by Au nanoparticles. The photo-sensitization, which was achieved by a facile photo-assisted reduction route, resulted in an extended spectral range of absorption from 460 to 640 nm. The photo...
