By molecular doping with cyanuric acid, carbon nitride (CN) was enhanced in terms of metallic, electronic, and photocatalytic properties. The integration of CA improved charge mobility and created a strong structure, leading to changes in surface area, electronic structure, band gap, and chemical composition. This enhancement significantly boosted photocatalytic activity, with UCN1:1 sample showing remarkable H-2 evolution and RhB pollutant photodegradation.
Presently, we engineered carbon nitride CN by specialized molecular doping with cyanuric acid (CA) to improve the metallic, electronic and photocatalytic assets under solar energy. The integration of CA monomer in CN significantly improve the efficient charge mobility and give a robust casing due to carbon/sulfur ingredients. Findings confirm that the incorporation of CA in the heptazine framework of CN introduce a remarkable polarization in its conjugated state and consequently illustrate an obvious variability in its surface area, electronic structure, band distance and chemical composition. Moreover, this exceptional consistency significantly enhances the photocatalytic operation toward sustainability and therefore the superior UCN1:1 sample illustrated a momentous photocatalytic activity of H-2 evolution as well of RhB pollutant photodegradation.
