In order to retain the beneficial properties of CN while improving stability, a crystalline phase poly(triazine imide) (PTI) of carbon nitride was investigated and compared to polymeric CN in photocatalytic hydrogen generation experiments. In order to improve the charge separation for the photoinduced hydrogen evolution reaction, pyrite (FeS<sub>2</sub>) was used as a surface co-catalyst with a loading of 1, 5 and 10 wt %.
