Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) provides optimized photocatalytic activity, superior thermal stability, and enhanced surface properties. Designed for environmental remediation and energy conversion applications, it ensures efficient light absorption, extended durability, and high adaptability.
Product Overview
Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C₃N₄) is a novel two-dimensional material composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms, with a crystal structure similar to graphite, but possessing superior stability and excellent physicochemical properties. As one of the most stable allotropes of carbon nitride, g-C₃N₄ exhibits ultra-high strength and chemical inertness, compensating for the heat stability limitations of diamond. Its unique sp² hybridization, strong covalent bonds, and benzene-ring-like conjugated system grant it excellent stability. This material is typically synthesized via a simple thermal polymerization process, which is easy to control and scalable. Due to its two-dimensional structure, g-C₃N₄ has broad potential applications in photocatalysis, battery technologies, and other fields.
