Graphical Abstract

Simple organic cooperative assembly of triazine molecules leads to three-dimensional macroscopic assemblies of low-dimensional graphitic carbon nitrides (g-CNs), for example, nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanosheets. The approach enables the characterization of the cooperative properties and photocatalytic activities of low-dimensional g-CN materials in hydrogen evolution reactions from water under visible light.
