“…Thus, the development of new renewable energy as an alternative to petroleum resources becomes imperative. , Recently, photocatalysts have been investigated as environmental friendly materials to transform solar energy into usable energy on the earth. , Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), as a two-dimensional layered metal-free polymer with various excellent characteristics including availability, low cost, nontoxicity, and chemical stability, shows great potential in the field of photocatalysis. − Compared with the traditional TiO 2 photocatalyst, g-C 3 N 4 possesses the ability to utilize visible light, which greatly improves the photocatalytic efficiency . Currently, g-C 3 N 4 is widely used in H 2 evolution, NO removal, O 2 production, H 2 O 2 evolution, and CO 2 reduction . In addition, it can also effectively activate molecular oxygen, which can achieve the photocatalytic conversion of organic groups and the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. , However, owing to the high-speed recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and limited surface area, the practical application of g-C 3 N 4 is dramatically restricted. , …”
