title: A novel nickel-thiourea-triethylamine complex adsorbed on graphitic C3N4 for low-cost solar hydrogen production.
abstract: A low-cost photocatalytic system composed of earth-abundant elements has been synthesized, with the nickel-thiourea-triethylamine catalyst in situ formed on the C3N4 photocatalyst, which exhibits a comparable H2 production with a C3N4-Pt photocatalytic system and a long term photocatalytic activity.
