The development of a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalyst is of great importance to a variety of visible utilization application fields. The desired high efficiency can be achieved by employing well-controlled g-C3N4 nanostructures. In this study, we successfully synthesized high surface area g-C3N4 nanowires and nanofibers using a cyanuric chloride and melamine precursor dispersed in a solvothermal reaction and with a subsequent calcination step. The obtained novel nanowire product had a diameter of 10-20 nm and a length of several hundreds of nanometers, while the nanofibers revealed fibrous nanostructures of randomly dispersed fibers with an average diameter of 15 nm. The adsorption and photocatalytic experimental results indicated that the as-prepared nanowires and nanofibers showed enhanced activities compared with bulk g-C3N4. Based on our experimental results, a possible photocatalytic mechanism with hydroxyl and superoxide radical species as the main active species in photocatalysis was proposed. Moreover, our strategy may provide progress toward the design and practical application of 1D g-C3N4 nanostructures in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
