Synthesis and modification strategies of g-C3N4 nanosheets for photocatalytic applications

Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNs) become the most promising member in the carbon nitride family benefitted from their two-dimensional structural features. Recently, great endeavors have been made in the synthesis and modification of CNNs to improve their photocatalytic properties, and many exciting progresses have been gained. In order to elucidate the fundamentals of CNNs based catalysts and provide the insights into rational design of photocatalysis system, we describe recent progress made in CNNs preparation strategies and their applications in this review. Firstly, the physicochemical properties of CNNs are briefly introduced. Secondly, the synthesis approaches of CNNs are reviewed, including…
