Preparation and photocatalytic properties of g c3 n4
INTRODUCTION
Physical and chemical appearance of g-C3N4
Preparation
Heating melamine in a
muffle furnace at 345ï‚°C
or above gives g-C3N4 .
ANALYSIS OF PHOTOCATALYTIC BEHAVIOUR
• X-ray Difractometer
• UV-vis spectrophotometer
• Scanning electronic microscope (SEM)
• Transmission electronic microscope (TEM)
XRD patterns at different temperature
• The products
maintained as
crystalline melamine
phase when the heating
temperature is lower
than 300ï‚°C.
• when the temperature
rises to 350–400C, it is
transformed into
crystalline or
amorphous graphite
like carbon nitride
compounds
• the temperature is
higher than 500ï‚°C, the
products completely
forms into amorphous
g-C3N4.
UV/visible spectra of g-C3N4
The UV-visible
diffuse reflectance
spectra showed that
the absorption edges
of samples is close to
468 nm.
SEM analysis
The morphology of melamine
processed at 300ï‚°C is
granular with a particle size of
50–80 nm.
The processed temperature is
higher than 400ï‚°C, the
morphology of products have
transformed into layer.
Flake size : 0.5–0.8 mm
SEM images at (b) 400ï‚°CSEM images at (a) 300ï‚°C
SEM images at (d) 600ï‚°C .SEM images at (c) 500ï‚°C
The processed temperature
rises to 500ï‚°C . the size is
also increased to 0.5–1.0
mm
The processed temperature
rises to 600ï‚°C size is also
increased to 0.5–1.5 mm

TEM analysis
Layer like structure
No crystal fring is observed so
amorphous in structure
