AB  - Novel composites consisting of graphitized polyacrylonitrile (g-PAN) nanosheets 
      grown on layered g-C3N4 sheets were synthesized through a facile one-step thermal 
      condensation of PAN and melamine for the first time. Photoluminescence 
      spectroscopy and the photoelectrochemical measurements reveal that g-PAN 
      nanosheets act as effective electron transfer channels to facilitate charge 
      carrier separation in g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites. The g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites 
      exhibit significantly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance for H2 
      evolution over pristine g-C3N4. The 5.0 wt % g-PAN/g-C3N4 composite has optimal 
      H2 evolution rate of 37 mumol h(-1), exceeding 3.8 times over pristine g-C3N4. We 
      have proposed a possible mechanism for charge separation and transfer in the 
      g-PAN/g-C3N4 composites to explain the enhanced photocatalytic performance.
