Photocatalytic efficiency of graphitic carbon nitride (g–C3N4) has been hindered by fast carrier recombination and high reaction energy barriers, which can be improved by combining a semiconductor with a large work function. Based on this strategy, we synthesized a novel Pt/t–ZrO2/g–C3N4 composite b...
