Graphene‐Like Carbon Nitride Nanosheets for Improved Photocatalytic Activities

Niu, Ping, Zhang, Lili, Liu, Gang, Cheng, Hui‐Ming·2012·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

“Graphitic” (g)‐C 3 N 4 with a layered structure has the potential of forming graphene‐like nanosheets with unusual physicochemical properties due to weak van der Waals forces between layers. Herein is shown that g‐C 3 N 4 nanosheets with a thickness of around 2 nm can be easily obtained by a simple top‐down strategy, namely, thermal oxidation etching of bulk g‐C 3 N 4 in air. Compared to the bulk g‐C 3 N 4, the highly anisotropic 2D‐nanosheets possess a high specific surface area of 306 m 2 g−1, a larger bandgap (by 0.2 eV), improved electron transport ability along the in‐plane direction, and increased lifetime of photoexcited charge carriers because of the quantum confinement effect. As a consequence, the photocatalytic activities of g‐C 3 N 4 nanosheets have been remarkably improved in terms of •OH radical generation and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
