g-C3N4-Based Nanomaterials for Visible Light-Driven Photocatalysis

摘要: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising material for photocatalytic applications such as solar fuels production through CO2 reduction and water splitting, environmental remediation the degradation of organic pollutants. This promise reflects advantageous photophysical properties g-C3N4 nanostructures, notably high surface area, quantum efficiency, interfacial charge separation transport, ease modification either composite formation or incorporation desirable functionalities. Here, we review recent progress in synthesis diverse nanostructured materials, highlight physical basis underpinning their performance each application. Potential new architectures, hierarchical that may offer further enhancements energy harvesting conversion are also outlined.
