We report a composite photocatalyst by coupling red phosphor (r-P) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). The introduction of g-C3N4 onto r-P surface led to considerable improvement on the photocatalytic activity for H2 production and CO2 conversion into valuable hydrocarbon fuel (CH4) in the presen...
