AB  - In this work, g-C(3)N(4) based ternary composite (CeO(2)/CN/NH(2)-MIL-101(Fe)) 
      has been fabricated via hydrothermal and wet-chemical methods. The composite 
      showed superior photoactivities for H(2)O reduction to produce H(2) and 
      2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation. The amount of H(2) evolved over the 
      composite under visible and UV-visible irradiations is 147.4 micromol.g(-1).h(-1) and 
      556.2 micromol.g(-1).h(-1), respectively. Further, the photocatalyst degraded 87% of 
      2,4-DCP in 2 hrs under visible light irradiations. The improved photoactivities 
      are accredited to the synergistic-effects caused by the proper band alignment 
      with close interfacial contact of the three components that significantly 
      promoted charge transfer and separation. The 2,4-DCP degradation over the 
      composite is dominated by OH radical rather than h(+) and O(2)(-) as investigated 
      by scavenger trapping experiments. This is further supported by the electron 
      para-magnetic resonance (EPR) study. This work provides new directions for the 
      development of g-C(3)N(4) based highly efficient ternary composite materials for 
      clean energy generation and pollution control.
