Synthesis of a Carbon Nitride Structure for Visible‐Light Catalysis by Copolymerization

A general solid-state synthesis of chemically-doped fluorescent graphene quantum dots for bioimaging and optoelectronic applications

“…[14] These species might gradually fuse together to give graphite-like structures under the solid-state reaction condition, which is supported by the fact that the N-containing compounds can be converted into various graphitic carbon nitride at much higher pyrolysis temperature (Figure 2). [15] The TEM data on the E-GQDs produced under the aforementioned optimized conditions suggest that the product contains mainly small particle-like nanostructures with size of 8.2 ± 1.2 nm (Figure 1a). From the high resolution TEM (HRTEM) images, the lattice spacing of 0.25 nm (Figure 1b), i.e.…”

Metal-Free Allylic Oxidation with Molecular Oxygen Catalyzed by g-C3N4 and N-Hydroxyphthalimide

“…1, XRD patterns of the samples show the characteristic (002) interplanar stacking peak around 27.4°, corresponding to the interlayer distance of aromatic systems of d = 0.326 nm, suggesting the formation of well-built g-C 3 N 4 layer structure [28]. Another peak at 13.1°agrees with (100) interplanar of tri-triazine units, which is indexed as the 100 peak [29].…”

Highly efficient pollutant removal of graphitic carbon nitride by the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalytic degradation

“…13,17 However, the practical applications of g-C 3 N 4 are still hindered by the several obstacles and shortcomings, especially its low specic surface area, limited active sites, poor adsorption ability, and the serious aggregation observed during a photocatalytic process, of common bulk g-C 3 N 4 prepared via the direct polycondensation of nitrogenrich precursors. 17,18 To overcome these drawbacks, many attempts, such as doping with heteroatoms, 19,20 constructing heterostructures, 21,22 fabricating copolymers, 23,24 and thermal etching, 25,26 have been dedicated towards improving the photocatalytic capability of g-C 3 N 4 . However, preparation of a highly active g-C 3 N 4 material using a facile and eco-friendly strategy is still desirable.…”
