K/Co co-doped carbon nitride nanocrystals for efficient hydrogen photosynthesis coupled with furfuryl alcohol oxidation
K/Co co-doped carbon nitride (KCoCN) nanocrystals enable visible-light-driven H<sub>2</sub> evolution (550 μmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>) coupled with furfuryl alcohol (FFA) oxidation to furoic acid (FA; 148 μmol and 89% conversion) without sacrificial agents. Mechanism studies reveal that KCoCN accelerates proton reduction to H<sub>2</sub> and promotes FFA oxidation to FA through a hole-driven radical mechanism.
