An overview on g-C۳N۴ based nanostructured materials as electrocatalyst substances

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C۳N۴) 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-C۳N۴-based photocatalysts in the framework of powder suspensions for artificial photosynthesis and environmental remediation. However, g-C۳N۴-based electrodes and devices’ practical applications are still in the early stages of development due to challenging fabrication methods of g-C۳N۴ thin films. This review addresses the classification of various g-C۳N۴-based electrocatalysts. Lastly, further suggestions are posited for other potential applications, challenges, and future orientations.
