AuPt alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using a simple photodeposition method to modify defective state g-C3N4 nanosheets (HCN) which contained N vacancies, B doping, and –C[tbnd]N groups. The visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) indicate that AuPt/HCN exhibits high light absorption capabi...
