Newly Designed Cutting-Edge GCN@Cd Nanocomposite Catalyst Drives Ultra-Selective Organic Transformations under Solar Light

Transforming nitroarene into value-added chemicals at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature using environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources is indeed a challenging but highly desirable task for scientists. We present here the synthesis and development of a visible light active nanocomposite photocatalyst (GCN@Cd) based on graphitic carbon nitride, which was accomplished via thermal polymerization. With GCN@Cd as the photocatalyst, the newly developed nanocomposite photocatalytic system operates with great efficiency, producing a high yield of organic transformation (~95.15%). As a result, we created a GCN@Cd nanocomposite material with superior light-triggeration capabilities for -N=N-bond formation. The current scientific endeavour focuses on the expansion and uses of GCN-based nanocomposite photocatalysts in a variety of domains, including environmental remediation and organic synthesis.
