Controllable synthesis of nanotube-type graphitic C3N4 and their visible-light photocatalytic and fluorescent properties
Abstract
This paper describes a facile and generally feasible method to synthesize nanotube-type graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) by directly heating melamine packed in an appropriate compact degree which plays a crucial role in the formation process of g-C3N4. This approach has several advantages: (i) no templates or extra organics are involved; (ii) high industrial feasibility; (iii) low cost; and (iv) general applicability. The as-synthesized g-C3N4 samples show intense fluorescence with a photoluminescent (PL) peak at 460 nm indicating their potential applications as a blue light fluorescence material. They also exhibit excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity compared to a reference P25 photocatalyst. The method reported may open up new opportunities for further studies as well as practical applications of g-C3N4 nanotubes in fields such as light-emitting devices, gas storage and photocatalysis.

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.
