“…Polymeric materials have been widely employed in water treatment applications. Graphitic carbon nitride, a two-dimensional organic polymeric material is also used as an effective adsorbent and photocatalyst for the fast removal and degradation of various pollutants in wastewater [24]. Recently, the g-C 3 N 4 has been used in non-catalytic applications for example as a photo-electronic material.…”

The g-C3N4 which is well known as a polymeric non-metal semiconductor, has been fabricated by thermal polymerization. It has also been used in catalytic applications including, photo-catalysis, removal and degradation of pollutants in water, Friedel-Crafts reactions, oxygen reduction reaction and etc. It has drawn noticeable research attention due to its economical and affordable fabrication, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, good thermal and electrical conductivity, high hardness, Corrosion resistance, and fireproofing properties. Therefore, the g-C3N4 has found non-catalytic applications including composites, cutting tools, improving surface properties, light emitting devices, optical sensors, and solar cells. In the current review, the novel and non-catalytic applications of g-C3N4 have been highlighted.
