Abstract
N2-assisted thermal polycondensation of a novel supramolecular self-assembly based on melamine, cyanuric acid, and thiourea produced S-doped carbon nitride. Molecular dynamics simulation estimated nonbonding energies between the melamine-cyanuric acid adduct and thiourea. The C–S functional group was efficiently converted to C–O by facile calcination in a static air atmosphere, which gave a highly condensed O-doped carbon nitride nanosheet (O-CN). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results confirmed that the oxygen-doped site is more stable and provides midgap states near the conduction band position of CN compared with sulfur doping. O-CN exhibited excellent visible light harvesting and photocatalytic activities toward removal of tetracycline and rhodamine B in an initial 15 min while producing a highly stable amount of H2O2 under an open atmosphere without a sacrificial agent. These outstanding performances result from synergistic approaches that lead to the modified polycondensation process, unprecedented reduction ability, and enhanced optical properties.
