Because of the suitable energy band structure,stable physicochemical properties and simple preparation method of g-C3N4 materials,they have been widely used in photocatalytic hydrogen production.The g-C3N4 materials have the problems of high photogenerated charge transfer resistance,low utilization of photogenerated carriers,and insufficient redox active sites on the surface during the photocatalytic reaction.The modification study of g-C3N4 materials to enhance their photocatalytic performance has been a hot research topic in this field.In this paper,we reviewed the modification strategies of g-C3N4 materials in terms of elemental doping,construction of heterojunction and co-catalysts loading,and enumerated the research progress based on g-C3N4 materials in recent years.
