A simple and efficient process for the synthesis of 2D carbon nitrides and related materials.

Abstract

This manuscript describes a new process for the synthesis of very high quality 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), such a C2N and CN carbon nitrides. The structure/quality of these materials is demonstrated by extensive cross-characterisations at different scales. The availability of such very large, high quality layers of these materials opens interesting perspectives, for example in photochemistry and electronics (intrinsic transport properties, high gap substrate for graphene, etc...). We thus consider that this work could be of interest to a broad readership, considering that this topic is among the current hottest ones.
