The phosphomolybdic acid hydrate (PMo 12 )-based g-C 3 N 4 -PANI-MoS 2 with the conductive polyaniline mediator and the nanosized MoS 2 cocatalyst were designed and in situ fabricated onto earth-abundant and environment-friendly g-C 3 N 4 for the first time. The PMo 12 not only polymerized the aniline (ANI) monomer but also oxidized the thiourea and formed the nanosized MoS 2 cocatalyst at a low temperature, and hence the PANI embraced the as-formed MoS 2 and refined its particle size for more marginal active sites. Consequently, the optimal g-C 3 N 4 -PANI-MoS 2 exhibited a very high photocatalytic H 2 evolution activity of 29.70 μmol/h under visible light irradiation, which was 11.4 and 270.0 times larger than that of g-C 3 N 4 -MoS 2 and the pristine g-C 3 N 4, respectively, indicating the extremely important role of the synergistic effect of the high conductivity of PANI and PANI-refined nanosized MoS 2 and providing a facile method for the design of novel high-performance catalyst for the solar conversion.
