SEM images of the (a) bulk-g-C3N4 and (b) 2D g-C3N4 nanoplates photocatalysts

Yang Ding, Lina Huang, Tarek Barakat, Bao-lian Su: A novel polarized 2D g-C3N4 nanoplates were successfully designed and prepared in my work, compared with the bulk g-C3N4 sample, the unique structure and polarized surface of the nanoplates entrust them with the dramatically increased visible light absorption, promoted photo-induced carriers separation ability and large specific surface area. Systematic studies reveal that the 2D g-C3N4 nanoplates shows 10 times higher photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine degradation than that of the bulk g-C3N4.
