Abstract
Wrinkled porous g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> nanosheets were fabricated by supramolecular MCA self-templates. Due to the reactant and porogen agent urea, g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> could be modulated with efficient electron–hole pairs and thus superior photocatalytic degradation performance.
