Syntheses

3.3.1 Synthesis of g-C3N4 15 g of melamine were suspended in 75 ml water, the water was evaporated and the sample calcined for 4 h at 550 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. The heating rate was 2.3 °C min-1 and the sample was allowed to cool down to room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere in the oven. The obtained product was pestled and characterized. 3.3.2 Synthesis of Copolymerized g-C3N4 15 g melamine or dicyandiamide as precursor and a defined amount of comonomers
