Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an important photocatalytic material that receives a lot of research attention globally. This is because of its favourable thermal and chemical stability as well as electronic band structure. However, the photocatalytic performance of the bulk g-C3N4 is limited by fast recombination of electron-hole pair and poor visible light-harvesting ability. Thus, different strategies, such as heterostructuring, nanotuning, doping, etc., have been adopted to overcome the aforementioned challenges to enhance the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4. In recent times, various nanostructured g-C3N4 photocatalytic materials with various tuned morphologies have been designed and fabricated in literature for different photocatalytic activities. This mini-review summarized the progress development of nanostructured g-C3N4 photocatalysts with various tuned morphologies for solar fuel generation. The article briefly highlights the research status of various g-C3N4 with tuned morphologies and enhanced solar fuel generation abilities. Finally, a conclusion and future research were also suggested, opening up new areas on g-C3N4 photocatalysis.

A facile strategy of uniform flower-shaped binary-metal-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method as the precursor of porous Mn2NiO4 nanostructures. After heat treatment at different temperatures, the as-prepared Mn2NiO4 inherits the morphologies of MOFs and can hold until 450°C. This porous Mn2NiO4, used as supercapacitor electrodes, exhibits a high specific capacitance (531.5 F g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1), with a relatively high specific surface area (114.2 m2 g-1). The high capacitance is mainly attributed to the porous and hierarchical structure, which facilitates fast diffusion of active ions, improves structural stability and large contact area between Mn2NiO4 and the electrolyte. The developed synthetic strategy may provide design guidelines for constructing advanced ternary nanostructured supercapacitors electrode.
