A Pt2+/Pt0 hybrid nanodot‐modified graphitic carbon nitride (CN) photocatalyst (CNV‐P) was fabricated for the first time using a chemical reduction method, during which nitrogen vacancies in g‐C3N4 assist to stabilize Pt2+ species. It is elucidated that the coexistence of metallic Pt0 and Pt2+ speci...
