Use | Uses Graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4), as a metal-free photocatalyst with great development prospects, can be used for many purposes, such as energy conversion, wastewater treatment or organic synthesis. Although the g-C3N4 has the advantages of appropriate band gap and excellent physical and chemical stability in the visible light range. However, it also has the disadvantages of disordered structure, low conductivity, poor dispersion and low processing performance. |
Graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted great attention in the field of energy conversion and storage due to its unique layered structure, energy band tunability, metal-free properties, and high physical and chemical stability. Two-dimensional g-C3N4 nanosheets have the characteristics of short charge/mass transfer path, rich reaction sites and easy functionalization, which are conducive to optimizing their performance in different fields. However, there are few comprehensive applications of 2D g-C3N4 in energy conversion and storage.
