Monolayer Graphitic Carbon Nitride as Metal-Free Catalyst with Enhanced Performance in Photo- and Electro-Catalysis.

ABSTRACT:

Highlights

The g-C₃N₄ monolayer in the perfect 2D limit was successfully realized, for the first time, by the well-defined chemical strategy based on the bottom-up process. The most striking evidence was made from Cs-high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements by observing directly the atomic structure of g-C₃N₄ unit cell, which was again supported by the corresponding high resolution transmission electron microscopy image simulation results. We demonstrated that the newly prepared g-C₃N₄ monolayer showed outstanding photocatalytic activity for H₂O₂ generation as well as excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction. The exfoliation of bulk graphitic carbon
