Modifying g-C3N4 with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) through imine linkage results in a dramatically enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which reached 10.1 mmol g−1 h−1 when 2 wt% Pt and triethanolamine were used as co-catalyst and sacrificial agent, respectively, corresponding to an apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 20.7% at 425 nm.

CoSe2, as a kind of co-catalyst, would replace noble metals element to dope pure CdS. The CoSe2/CdS photocatalyst could be synthesized by simple physical mixing. With the introduction of CoSe2, especially 30% CoSe2/CdS, hydrogen production would be about 500 μmol within 5 h, five times that of pure CdS under the same conditions. The CoSe2/CdS photocatalyst could bear four cycles of hydrogen evolution and sustain the hydrogen production, with a minor decrease. In other words, the electron transition velocity would surge along with the introduction of CoSe2 particles. The CoSe2 could be deemed as the predator and exit of electrons to inspire the detachment of the hole-electron pairs and relieve the recombination of the hole-electron pairs.
