The photocatalytic activity of graphic carbon nitride(g-C₃N₄) was limited because of poor visible-light utilization and low photogenerated carriers separation. Herein, carbon self-doping g-C₃N₄(CNNS-x, x mg represents the mass of TAPD in precursor) was simply prepared by one-step thermal co-polymerization of the homogeneous mixture of urea and 2, 4, 6-triaminopyrimidine(TAPD). The as-prepared CNNS-x was carefully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), elemental analysis(EA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), which indicated that the pyrimidine was incorporated into the π-conjugated graphic carbon nitride. Thus, the CNNS-x was endowed with narrower bandgap, higher electric conductivity, which are favorable for improving the efficiency of visible-light absorption and photogenerated carrier separation. As a consequence, all the CNNS-x show remarkably improved performance in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity under visible-light irradiation. The optimum sample(CNNS-30) showed an excellent hydrogen evolution rate(~57 μmol·h^-1), which was up to 4 times higher than that of g-C₃N₄ nanosheets(CNNS).
