Synergistic Doping and Surface Decoration of Carbon Nitride Macrostructures by Single Crystal Design.

ABSTRACT: Tailored design of hybrid carbon nitride (CN) materials is quite challenging because of the drawbacks of the solid-state reaction, and the utilization of single crystals containing C-N monomers as reactants for the high-temperature reaction has been proven to imprint a given chemical composition, morphology, or electronic structure. We report the one-pot synthesis of alkali-containing CN macrostructures with ionic crystals on its surface by utilizing a tailored melamine-hydrochloride-based molecular single crystal containing NaCl and KCl as reactants. Structural and optical investigations reveal that upon calcination, molecular doping with Na⁺ and K⁺ is achieved, and additionally, the ionic species remain on the surface of the materials, resulting in an enhanced H
