Hydrogen production by using photolysis of water is more compatible with sustainability goals, and the search for an environmentally friendly and efficient catalyst is always the target of continuous exploration of researchers. As a non-noble metal catalyst, g-C3N4 is more and more widely applied to the field of water photolysis hydrogen production technology, and the search for a co-catalyst with excellent performance still arouses the interest of a large number of scientific researchers.
Heretofore, the method of modifying g-C3N4 with a promoter (transition metal, noble metal, metal chalcogenide, and metal phosphide) to form a heterojunction has been promising. Among them, the heterojunction formed by metal phosphide and g-C3N4 has attracted great interest to researchers because of its excellent performance and environmental protection. As a metal abundant in resources on the earth, nickel has been widely used for production and research, and as a non-noble metal catalyst, Ni2P has been used for research of photocatalytic hydrogen production.
