Metal‐Containing Carbon Nitride Compounds: A New Functional Organic–Metal Hybrid Material
Xinchen Wang, Xiufang Chen, Arne Thomas, Xianzhi Fu, Markus Antonietti
Abstract
The electronic and optical functions of polymeric C3N4 can be easily modified by the inclusion of metal species such as Fe in its structure. The metal species lowers the bandgap and expands the light absorption of the material further into the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, while keeping a sufficient overpotential for carrying out oxidation reactions.
