The fragmented 2D nanosheet structure of 2D-CN facilitates the formation of a more efficient heterojunction with TpPa-COF. 2D-CN/TpPa15 achieved the highest H<sub>2</sub> evolution rate of 19539 μmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup> under visible light irradiation, which is higher than that of BCN/TpPa15 (13,279 μmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) and represented a 3.8-fold and 148-fold improvement over 2D-CN and TpPa-COF, respectively. DFT calculations indicate that 2D-CN possesses a higher W<sub>f</sub> than TpPa-COF, thereby inducing the formation of a built-in electric field directed from TpPa-COF to 2D-CN in the 2D-CN/TpPa, which facilitates the migration of photogenerated electrons from the CB of 2D-CN to that of TpPa-COF under photoexcitation.

The unmodified GCC exhibited a smooth and uniform morphology, whereas coatings with hBN, particularly at 5 wt%, displayed a rougher, more heterogeneous surface topography.
