Luminescent and Photocatalytic Properties of Bulk and Crystalline Graphitic Carbon Nitride

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

The photoluminescence of bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), crystalline carbon nitride (CGCN) obtained by thermal treatment of g-C3N4 in LiCl and KCl melts, and CGCN treated with a lactic acid solution (AT-CGCN) has been studied. It has been established that the luminescent properties largely depend on their morphology and the presence of impurities as well as structural defects. It is shown that there is an antibatic dependence between the luminescence intensity and the photocatalytic activity of the samples in the ethanol oxidation reaction.
