This work aims to explore the influence of crystal phase engineering on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity Ru/C3N4 systems. By precisely tuning combination Ru precursors and reducing solvents, we successfully synthesized co-catalysts with distinct phases (hcp fcc) integrated them C3N4. The experiments demonstrated that hcp-Ru/C3N4 achieved a significantly higher rate (24.23 μmol h−1) compared fcc-Ru/C3N4 (7.44 h−1), reaching approximately 42% Pt/C3N4 under same conditions. Photocurrent electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses revealed exhibited superior charge separation transfer efficiency. Moreover, Gibbs free energy calculations indicated adsorption hcp-Ru (ΔGH* = −0.14 eV) was closer optimal fcc-Ru (−0.32 eV), enhancing generation process. These findings highlight crystal-phase plays critical role in electronic structure catalytic properties Ru-based systems, offering insights for design highly efficient noble metal catalysts photocatalysis.
