Synthesis and characterization of carbon nitride with tunable properties for photocatalytic degradation of phenol

Carbon nitride (CN) has been regarded as a potential visible light photocatalyst due to its light absorption up to ca. 450 nm and possesses band gap energy (Eg) of ca. 2.7 eV. CN can be prepared by thermal polymerization method using carbon and nitrogen-rich compound as the precursor. However, most...
