High-quality Nanometer 1-10um Graphite Carbon Nitride Pale Yellow Powder G-C3N4 for Catalysis CAS 143334-20-7

g-C₃N₄ finds its most extensive applications in the field of photocatalysis. It effectively degrades organic dyes (such as Rhodamine B and Methyl Orange), antibiotics, and pesticides in water, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere, thereby facilitating environmental remediation.

As a non-metallic catalyst, it also demonstrates immense potential in the realm of electrocatalysis. In the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), it exhibits performance superior to that of pure carbon materials, holding promise as a substitute for platinum-based catalysts in fuel cells. In the electrochemical reduction of nitrates to ammonia, single-atom-modified g-C₃N₄ demonstrates high Faraday efficiency. It is also utilized as an air cathode catalyst in zinc-air batteries to enhance both the energy density and cycle life of the battery.

Electrode materials constructed using g-C₃N₄ possess high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability, making them suitable for applications in supercapacitors.

In the biomedical field, the applications of g-C₃N₄ primarily focus on fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy. Its inherent fluorescence properties enable cellular imaging, while its photothermal effect facilitates the photothermal treatment of tumors.

In the field of sensing, g-C₃N₄ is employed for the detection of heavy metal ions (such as Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺), biomolecules, and environmental pollutants, characterized by its high sensitivity and excellent selectivity.
