It is still a great challenge to effectively optimize the electronic structure of photocatalysts for the sustainable and efficient conversion of solar energy to H₂ energy. To resolve this issue, we report on the optimization of the electronic structure of hollow-concave carbon nitride (C₃N₄) by deviating the sp²-hybridized structure of its tri-s-triazine component from the two-dimensional plane. The embedded CuInS₂ into C₃N₄ (CuInS₂@C₃N₄) demonstrates an increased light-capturing capability and the promoted directional transfer of the charge carrier. Research results reveal that the hollow structure with an apparent potential difference between the concave and convex C₃N₄ drives the directional transfer of the photoinduced electrons from the Cu 2p orbital of CuInS₂ to the N 1s orbital of C₃N₄ with the S-scheme principle. The H₂ evolution efficiency over CuInS₂@C₃N₄ is up to 373 µmol∙h^-1 g^-1 under visible irradiation, which is 1.57 and 1.35 times higher than those over the bulk g-C₃N₄ with 1 wt% Pt (238 µmol∙h^-1 g^-1) and g-C₃N₄ with 3 wt% Pd (276 µmol∙h^-1 g^-1), respectively. This suggests that the apparent potential difference of the hollow C₃N₄ results in an efficient reaction between the photogenerated electrons and H₂O. This work supplies a new strategy for enhancing the sustainable solar conversion performance of carbon nitride, which can also be suitable for other semiconductors.
