Abstract
Hollow porous graphitic carbon nitride (porous CN) was synthesized via a simple tactic method, and the resulting porous CN showed an effectively modified surface area, crystal structure and enhanced photocatalytic performance. Optical and electrochemical characterization results demonstrated an increase in the charge transfer rate and a decrease in recombination tendency.
