In this study, we present a simple and green method to in situ construct chrysanthemum stalk-derived porous carbon/ highly active defective g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> (PC/g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) through hydrogen bond, increasing the surface area and a high density of Lewis base sites. The chrysanthemum stalk contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, which possess a significant number of hydroxyl functional groups and drain channels, thereby providing more hydrogen bonding for highly active defective g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>. The XPS spectra revealed that, in comparison to PC/g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>–1 and PC/ g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>–2.5, PC/g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>–2 exhibited a higher C-NH<sub>2</sub> content at the edge of the nitrogen element.
