Fund Project: This work was supported by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation Funded Project (2016M592642), Project from Chongqing Education Commission (KJ1600305), Chongqing Basic Science and Advanced Technology Research (cstc2016jcyjAX0003), the Start-up Foundation for Doctors of Chongqing Normal University (15XLB010, 15XLB014), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (51478070, 51108487) and the Innovative Research Team of Chongqing (CXTDG201602014).

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) with efficient photocatalytic activity was synthesized through thermal polymerization of thiourea with the addition of water (CN-W) or ethanol (CN-E) at 550℃ for 2 h. The physicochemical properties of the g-C₃N₄ were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, diffuse-reflection spectroscopy, BET and BJH surface area characterization, and elemental analysis. The carbon content was found to have self-doped into the g-C₃N₄ matrix during the thermal polymerization of thiourea and ethanol. CN-W and CN-E showed considerably enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity, with NO removal percentages of 37.2% and 48.3%, respectively. Compared with pure g-C₃N₄, both the short and long lifetimes of the charge carriers in CN-W and CN-E were found to be prolonged. The mechanism of improved visible-light photocatalytic activity was deduced. The present work may provide a facile route to optimize the microstructure of g-C₃N₄ photocatalysts for high-performance environmental and energy applications.
