Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and its derivatives are promising candidates as catalysts or supports for photocatalytic applications. Since they are typically produced by polymerization or condensation of monomers under high temperature and high pressure, development of a cost-effective, solution-based, low-temperature method of production is important. Herein, novel hybrid materials composed of g-C₃N ₄ and reduced graphene oxide are produced using a simple reaction between graphene oxide and cyanamide using a solution-based process. During the reaction, reduction of graphene oxide and graphene oxide-assisted generation of g-C₃N₄ occurred simultaneously. These hybrids show good photocatalytic performance for the removal of organic dyes under one sun solar light illumination.
