Abstract
ConspectusGraphitic carbon nitride-based materials have emerged as promising photocatalysts for a variety of energy and environmental applications owing to their “earth-abundant” nature, structural versatility, tunable electronic and optical properties, and chemical stability. Optimizing carbon nitride’s physicochemical properties encompasses a variety of approaches, including the regulation of inherent structural defects, morphology control, heterostructure construction, and heteroatom and metal-atom doping. These strategies are pivotal in ultimately enhancing their photocatalytic activities. Previous reviews with extensive examples have mainly focused on the synthesis, modification, and application of carbon…
