Nanoscale Graphitic Carbon Nitride by A. Pandikumar, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Nanoscale Graphitic Carbon Nitridefocuses on multi-functional applications including energy conversion, storage and healthcare. Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride materials have attracted much attention in recent years because of their similarity to graphene. They are composed of carbon, nitrogen and some minor hydrogen content. In contrast to graphene, g-Graphitic carbon nitride is a medium band-gap semiconductor and in that role an effective photocatalyst and chemical catalyst for a broad variety of reactions and applications. This book covers the fundamentals and applications of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) in different sectors. It also covers the application of graphitic carbon nitride-based composites with metal, metal oxides, metal sulphide and carbon-based materials. This is an important resource for researchers in the fields of materials science, engineering, energy storage and chemical engineering who want to understand how nanoscale graphitic carbon nitride is being used for a range of industrial applications and processes. Outlines the major properties of nanoscale graphitic carbon nitride, along with their major application areasAssesses the challenges of manufacturing graphitic carbon nitride on a mass scaleExplains major synthesis methods for nanoscale graphitic carbon nitride | Nanoscale Graphitic Carbon Nitride by A.
