Abstract
The free-standing g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> films were fabricated by thermal condensation of C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>N<sub>4</sub> at 600 °C in a low pressure of Ar atmosphere. The as-synthesized g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> films exhibited stable and strong photoluminescence emission centered around 455–460 nm.
