An overview on g-C3N4 based nanostructured materials as electrocatalyst substances

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has emerged as one of the most promising nanomaterials due to its metalfree nature, abundant raw material, and thermal physical-chemical stability. In recent years, breakthrough research studies have mostly been concentrated on the engineering of the intrinsic and morphological properties of g-C3N4-based photocatalysts in the framework of powder suspensions for artificial photosynthesis and environmental remediation. However, g-C3N4-based electrodes and devices’ practical applications are still in the early stages of development due to challenging fabrication methods of g-C3N4 thin films. This review addresses the classification of various g-C3N4-based electrocatalysts. Lastly, further suggestions are posited for other potential applications, challenges, and future orientations.
