摘要
A facile method has been developed for the preparation of g-C3N4 with increased specific surface area and visible light absorption. Carbon-and oxygen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (C, O-g-C3N4) were fabricated by heating thiourea with a small quantity of citric acid. The products were then exfoliated by thermal oxidation of C, O-g-C3N4 in air. Both specific surface area and optical absorption increased with the incorporation of carbon and oxygen. Exfoliated C, O-g-C3N4 exhibited significantly enhanced photocurrent and excellent photocatalytic performance in hydrogen evolution reaction under visible-light irradiation.
