Abstract
A deprotection-free method was developed for the synthesis of graphdiyne (GDY) powder with in-situ formed CuO nanoparticles, as reported by Mohamed Nawfal Ghazzal, Li-Zhu Wu et al. in their Research Article (e202210242). The prepared CuO/GDY was demonstrated to be an excellent co-catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, comparable to the state-of-art Pt cocatalyst. The work will widen the use of GDY and facilitate its scaling up to industrial level.
