Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (for simplicity, g-C3N4) is a layered material similar to graphene, being composed of only C, N, and some impurity H. Contrary to graphenes, g-C3N4 is a medium band gap semiconductor and an effective photocatalyst for a broad variety of reactions, and it possesses a high thermal and chemical stability In this Perspective, we describe the polycondensation of this structure, how to modify band positions and band gap by doping and copolymerization, and how to texture the organic solid to make it an effective photocatalyst. We then describe the photochemical splitting of water and some mild and selective photooxidation reactions catalyzed by g-C3N4.
