Abstract

A facile synthetic strategy for nitrogen-deficient graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub> N<sub>x</sub> ) is established, involving a simple alkali-assisted thermal polymerization of urea, melamine, or thiourea. In situ introduced nitrogen vacancies significantly redshift the absorption edge of g...
