- Abstract
Herein we report a core–shell structured C@g-C3N4 nanorod with precisely located carbon and carbon nitride, fabricated by a nanocasting method using externally functionalized "non-calcinated" SBA-15 as a template. The resultant C@g-C3N4 core–shell architecture not only promotes the charge separation and visible light absorption, but also improves the utilization of active sites and their stability. Thanks to these features C@g-C3N4 nanorod proved to be a more efficient photocatalyst for degradation of methylene blue and phenol than the pristine (mesoporous) carbon nitride polymers. This is to our knowledge a unique example of g-C3N4-containing composite that demonstrates an intended location of active sites and controlled morphology together with excellent optical activity as well as photo redox performance. Such a core–shell structured C@g-C3N4 nanorod can find wide applications in environmental treatment and photoelectrochemical detection of organic dyes.
