Crystal and Electronic Structures of g-C3N4 | Chapter 6 | Current Topics on Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 4

 

 The graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted significant cross-disciplinary interest in the fields of photocatalysis, optoelectronic devices, biomedicines, and other areas as a free-metal, non-toxic, earth-abundant, and environmentally friendly narrow-bandgap dimensional semiconductor with visible light response. Additionally, g-distinct C3N4's crystal and electronic structure gives it adjustable luminescence, extremely high chemical stability, and excellent thermal stability. However, understanding g-crystal C3N4's and electronic structures is essential for optimising performance for various applications and for understanding the mechanisms behind the material's features. This paper provides an overview of the g-C3N4 crystal and electrical structures, defects detection, and band structure rules. Additionally, the structure of g-progression C3N4's from small molecular precursors to macroscopic compounds, including synthesis methods and reaction conditions on intermediate and final product structures and performances.
