Photocatalytic water splitting is an attractive route to hydrogen production, but safely isolating hydrogen and oxygen products remains a challenge. Here, the authors propose a carbon nitride/grapheme (GR)-based sandwich structure, providing safe and effective photocatalytic hydrogen generation and capsule storage.
