Abstract

Porous g-C3N4 was prepared through thermal polycondensation of supramolecular aggregates, which were formed from melamine and HNO3, H2SO4, HCl or HI by induced hydrogen bond. Various acids acted as templates to cause the formation of porous structures on the g-C3N4 during the condensation process of melamine. And the prepared pg-C3N4 exhibited notably photocatalytic performance for degrading Rhodamine B and phenol compared with bulk g-C3N4 due to its high surface area and changed band potentials. Obviously, this work supplied a facile method to synthesize porous g-C3N4 material, which was widely used in environmental abatement and energy related fields.
