文摘

Delamination of layer materials into two-dimensional single-atom sheets has induced exceptional physical properties, including large surface area, ultrahigh intrinsic carrier mobility, pronounced changes in the energy band structure, and other properties. Here, atomically thin mesoporous nanomesh of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) is fabricated by solvothermal exfoliation of mesoporous g-C₃N₄ bulk made from thermal polymerization of freeze-drying assembled Dicyandiamide nanostructure precursor. With the unique structural advantages for aligned energy levels, electron transfer, light harvesting, and the richly available reaction sites, the as-prepared monolayer of mesoporous g-C₃N₄ nanomesh exhibits a superior photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 8510 μmol h^–1 g^–1 under λ > 420 nm and an apparent quantum efficiency of 5.1% at 420 nm, the highest of all the metal-free g-C₃N₄ nanosheets photocatalysts.
