In situ formation of 2-thiobarbituric acid incorporated g-C₃N₄ for enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance.

ABSTRACT: Embedding heterocycles into the skeleton of g-C₃N₄ has been proved to be a simple and efficient strategy for improving light response and the separation of photo-excited charges. Herein, 2-thiobarbituric acid incorporated g-C₃N₄ (TBA/CN) with good photocatalytic efficiency for Rh B degradation and H₂ production was successfully achieved via a facile thermal copolymerization approach. The incorporation of aromatics and S atoms into the skeleton of g-C₃N₄ was identified via systematic characterizations. This unique structure contributed to the narrowed band-gap, extended delocalization of lone pair electrons and changed electron transition pathway, which led to the enhanced visible light utilization, a
