A binary direct Z-scheme LaNiO 3 /g-C 3 N 4  nanocomposite photocatalyst consisted with LaNiO 3  nanoparticles and g-C 3 N 4  nanosheets was successfully synthesized by means of mechanical mixing and solvothermal methods in order to improve the photocatalytic water splitting activity. The as-prepared materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and N 2  adsorption–desorption experiments, respectively, demonstrating the formation of interfacial interaction and heterogeneous structure in LaNiO 3 /g-C 3 N 4  nanocomposites. Under UV-light irradiation, the LaNiO 3 /g-C 3 N 4  samples which without the addition of any noble metal as co-catalyst behaved enhanced photocatalytic water splitting activity compared with pure LaNiO 3  and g-C 3 N 4 , owing to the Z-scheme charge carrier transfer pathway. Especially, the LaNiO 3 /70%g-C 3 N 4  nanocomposite reach an optimal yield of up to 3392.50 µmol g −1  in 5 h and held a maximum H 2  evolution rate of 678.5 µmol h −1  g −1  that was 5 times higher than that of pure LaNiO 3 .

The high photocatalytic efficiency and stability of LaNiO3/g-C3N4 heterojunction nanocomposites for photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen
