Representative work: The Pt-free photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) has been the focus in the photocatalytic field. The catalytic system with the large accessible surface and good mass-transfer ability, as well as the intimate combination of co-catalyst with semiconductor is promising for the promotion of the application. Here, we have reported the design of the two-dimensional (2D) porous C3N4 nanosheets (PCN NS) intimately combined with few-layered MoS2 for the high-effective Pt-free PHE. The PCN NS were synthesized based on peeling the melamine—cyanuric acid precursor (MC precursor) by the triphenylphosphine (TP) molecular followed by the calcination, mainly due to the matched size of the (100) plane dis An effective "precursor-transformation" route was developed for the high-yield synthesis of ZIF-8 tubes based on the reaction of 1D Zn-EG (ethylene glycol) wires with 2-methylimidazole (with around 0.6 g of ZIF-8/60 mL of solvent, the yield is over 90% based on Zn). The ZIF-8 tubes fixed on a sponge can be used as an effective material for oil/water separation
