Abstrakt: | In this work, protonated poly(heptazine imide) (H-PHI) was obtained by adding acid to the suspension of potassium PHI (K-PHI) in ethanol. It was established that the obtained H-PHI demonstrates very high photocatalytic activity in the reaction of hydrogen formation from ethanol in the presence of Pt nanoparticles under visible light irradiation in comparison with K-PHI. This enhancement can be attributed to improved efficiency of photogenerated charge transfer to the photocatalyst's surface, where redox processes occur. Various factors influencing the system's activity were evaluated. Notably, it was discovered that the conditions of acid introduction into the system can significantly affect the size of Pt (cocatalyst metal) deposition on the H-PHI surface, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic system's stability in producing molecular hydrogen. It was established that the system can operate efficiently in the presence of air without additional components on the photocatalyst surface to block air access. Under optimal conditions, the apparent quantum yield of molecular hydrogen production at 410 nm is around 73%, the highest reported value for carbon nitride materials to date. The addition of acid not only increases the activity of the reduction part of the system but also leads to the formation of a value-added product from ethanol-1,1-diethoxyethane (acetal) with high selectivity.
