Remarkably improved photocatalytic selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde with O<sub>2</sub>over metal-free delaminated g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>nanosheets: synergistic effect of enhanced textural properties and charge carrier separation
Rajat Ghalta, Rajendra Srivastava
Abstract
A significant enhancement in the selective photocatalytic oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde with O 2 is demonstrated via a simple, thermal exfoliation of urea-derived g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets using an artificial light source or sunlight.
