Synthesis of C3N4-PdCu. In a typical synthesis of C3N4-PdCu, 20 mg of
C3N4 nanosheets were dispersed in 8 mL of water to form an aqueous
suspension with probe sonication (Scientz-IID, China) for 1 h in a 50 mL
glass vial. Subsequently, 105 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), 120 mg
of ascorbic acid, and 300 mg of KBr were added into the glass vial under
magnetic stirring, which were then transferred to a 50-mL three-neck
flask, and pre-heated under magnetic stirring at 80 oC for 10 min in an oil
bath. Then 3.0 mL of an aqueous solution containing certain amounts of
K2PdCl4 and CuCl2·2H2O was added into the flask, and the reaction was
proceed at 80 oC for 3 h. 0.054 mmol of K2PdCl4 and 0.006 mmol of
CuCl2·2H2O were used in the synthesis of C3N4-Pd9Cu1. While in the
synthesis of C3N4-Pd7Cu3, 0.042 mmol of K2PdCl4 and 0.018 mmol of
CuCl2·2H2O were used. The resultant product was separated by
centrifugation, washed with acetone once and water three times, and
dried at 45 oC in a vacuum.

Synthesis of C3N4-PdCuHx. In the conversion of C3N4-PdCu into C3N4-
PdCuHx, 40 mg of as-synthesized C3N4-PdCu was re-dispersed in 20 mL
of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in a 50-mL Teflon-lined stainless-steel
autoclave, which was then heated at 160 oC for 16 h. The resultant
product was separated by centrifugation, washed with acetone once and
water three times, and dried at 45 oC in a vacuum.

Photocatalytic CO2 reduction measurement.
CO2 photocatalytic
reduction reaction was conducted in a 100 mL reactor purchased from
Perfect Light Company (China, Beijing). To remove possible trace
organic contaminants, all the samples were treated at 160 oC for 3 h in
air. In a typical measurement, 15 mg of photocatalyst was dispersed on
the flat glass plate on the bottom of the reactor. And 1 mL H2O was
added and surrounded the plate. The reactor loaded with photocatalysts
was first purged with high purity CO2 for 30 min. Then the light-irradiation
experiment was performed by using a 300 W Xe lamp with visible light as
the illumination source. The power density of visible light (780 nm > λ
> 420 nm) was measured to be 50 mW cm-2 with an irradiatometer (FZ-A,

photocatalytic reaction was typically performed for 4 h. During the
irradiation, 1 mL gas was sampled from the glass chamber. And the
amount of products involved were determined using gas chromatography
(GC-2014, Shimadzu) with Ar as carrier gas. H2 and O2 were determined
using a thermal conductivity detector (TCD). CH4 was measured by
flame ionization detector (FID), and CO was converted to CH4 by a
methanation reactor and then analyzed by FID. The possible liquid
products were also analyzed by a FID using gas chromatography (GC-
2010 Plus, Shimadzu). During the stability test, the photocatalysts were
collected after each run and then reused for the photocatalytic reaction.
In the activity measurement of TiO2 based photocatalysts, UV light (λ <
420 nm) with a power density of 10 mW cm-2 was used instead of visible
light with other experimental conditions unchanged.
