We report an economic and noble-metal-free artificial photosynthetic system, consisting of g-C3N4 as photosensitizer and photocatalyst, and cobaloxime as co-catalyst, for H2 generation. This system allows for effective electron transfer from excited g-C3N4 to CoIII(dmgH)2pyCl to generate reduced cob...
