The study aims to investigate the photocatalytic characteristics of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and its electronic properties.
Prepared g-C₃N₄ through thermal polycondensation of melamine
Conducted X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis for material characterization
Performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations for electronic structure assessment
g-C₃N₄ exhibits good optical absorption with a bandgap of 2.61 eV in the visible range
Material shows stability at high temperatures with minimal mass loss
DFT calculations confirm a favorable balance between electronic stability and charge transfer capability
