In the present work, freshly prepared from urea powders of graphite carbon nitride were subjected to ultrasonic exfoliation and were used to evaluate their adsorption efficiency for iron and copper ions from an aqueous solution. It has been established that the sorption efficiency is significantly affected by the pH of the medium, the contact time, and the initial concentration of metal ions. It is shown that the Fe2+ sorption isotherm by carbon nitride can be well modeled by both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms based on correlation coefficients

“…In this connection, few research groups have come up with a green templating technique wherein, a bubbling material that is, ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl) is incorporated along with the precursor material during the thermal decomposition process where NH 3 and HCl gases are liberated resulting in bubbling action leaving behind a porous structure. [8][9][10][11][12] The main idea behind adapting such an approach is to delaminate the layers of the bulk structure and obtain a highly porous material resulting in a greater number of surface sites for pollutant adsorption thereby increasing the photodegradation efficiency. However, out of the reported literature on the subject, the concept is not extensively investigated to attain its full potential.…”

Improved graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) was synthesized through a unique one‐step cost‐effective technique involving a dynamic gas bubbling phenomenon using ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) as a bubbling agent. An extensive investigation was carried out to optimize the weight ratio of NH4Cl and melamine during the thermal pyrolysis process. Here, we report an improved form of g‐C3N4 namely “expanded g‐C3N4” with increased interlayer distance and remarkable volume expansion. The surface area of this improved version has notably increased leading to higher photocatalytic efficiency as compared with its counterpart, an synthesized without adding NH4Cl. Synthesized photocatalyst materials were further used to study the Rhodamine B photodegradation under visible light. It was observed that the expanded g‐C3N4 showed a 2.4 times higher photodegradation rate than its counterpart and degraded 94% of the dye in just 30 min.

“…Recently, attractive conjugated polymer semiconductor graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) attracts more and more attention in the field of photocatalysis technology by reason of excellent physicochemical stability, fascinating electronic band structure, and earth-abundant nature. [10,11] In 2009, Wang et al first reported the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by water splitting employing g-C 3 N 4 as the photocatalyst. [12] However, the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production of g-C 3 N 4 cannot meet the requirements of practical application, which can be ascribed to the relatively small surface area, fast charge carrier combination, low electrical conductivity, and poor visible absorption ability.…”

A series of ternary Ag/Ni(OH)2/g‐C3N4 composite photocatalysts were prepared by a facile method. The as‐prepared samples were characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV‐vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen was carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the as‐prepared samples and the effect of Ag and Ni(OH)2 content was explored. The results indicated that the A5N5−CN sample shows the optimal hydrogen evolution of 1663.2 μmol g−1 h−1, which was 114.7 times higher than that of bulk g‐C3N4. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of cocatalysts Ag and Ni(OH)2.
