Sorry, the short answer is no, you can't use a PS3 controller on a PS4. They aren't officially compatible.

I've tried it, and sadly, PS3 controllers just don't work natively on a PS4. You'll need to invest in a DualShock 4 for the best experience.

Nope, PS3 controllers won't work on PS4 without some serious tinkering. Best to get a DualShock 4!

Hot take: just use the right tools for the job. PS3 controllers are for PS3. PS4 controllers are for PS4.
