Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts were synthesized through a simple pyrolysis method.
The Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts have worm-like mesostructures with high surface area.
Induced Mo species into g-C3N4 can extend the spectral response property.
A lower recombination rate of the electron–hole pairs in Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts
The Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts exhibited an enhanced activity in the photoreduction of CO2.
