Graphitic carbon nitride composites as electro catalysts: Applications in energy conversion/storage and sensing system

N-doped carbon nanotubes encapsulated with FeNi nanoparticles derived from defect-rich, molecule-doped 3D g-C3N4 as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc–air batteries

“…52–54 Furthermore, the incorporation of Fe and Ni metals into D-g-C 3 N 4 could help the generation of Fe–N x and Ni–N x and new FeNi alloy active sites. 55–57 For the same reason, Fe/N–C and Ni/N–C exhibited higher activity than the N–C electrocatalyst. Compared to FeNi/N-CNT, the Fe/N–C and Ni/N–C electrocatalysts gained smaller activity increases because of the absence of the synergistic effect between Fe and Ni.…”

Insights on advanced g‐C3N4 in energy storage: Applications, challenges, and future

“…), which can improve the specific capacitance and cycling stability of the pseudocapacitive electrode. 273,274 Wen et al 275 reported that crumpled NG nanosheets (C-NGNSs), which had pore volume as high as 3.42 cm 3 g −1 , were fabricated via an efficient and facile strategy. The C-NGNSs-900 sample, which possessed a specific capacitance of approaching 248.4 F g −1 at 5 mV s −1 , had the highest capacity.…”

Review—Strategic Design of Layered Double Hydroxides and Graphitic Carbon Nitride Heterostructures for Photoelectrocatalytic Water Splitting Applications

“…181 Hybrid 2D-2D heterostructures of g-C 3 N 4 and LDH.-The coupling of 2D material g-C 3 N 4 with layered semiconductors improves the overall photocatalytic properties. 32,116,168,174,177,194,201,202,204,[206][207][208][209][210][211] For this purpose, g-C 3 N 4 is coupled with layered double hydroxides (LDH) because of the structural and functional similarities between these two materials. 46,66,67,98,102,109,116,146,[212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219][220][221] The addition of g-C 3 N 4 enhances the surface area, photostability, and photoactivity of the LDH material because of the highly stable delocalized conjugated structure of g-C 3 N 4 .…”

“…The selection of 2D materials based on their functional properties over the past few decades has been an important governing aspect of their applications, such as photo/electrocatalysis, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] energy storage and conversion, [10][11][12][13] and biomedical applications. 5,[14][15][16][17][18][19] The 2D materials, such as MoS 2 , [20][21][22][23][24][25] graphene, 4,26 graphdiyne, 27,28 graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), [29][30][31][32] layered double hydroxide (LDH), [33][34][35][36] have shown great promise for these applications. 4,20,24,25,[37][38][39] However, they suffer from certain limitations, especially effective light absorption leading to generation and transfer of charge carriers.…”
