In this contribution, the effect of hydrogenation conditions atmosphere (temperature and time) on physicochemical properties and photocatalytic efficiency of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4, gCN) was studied in great details. The changes in the morphology, chemical structure, optical and electrochemical properties were carefully investigated. Interestingly, the as-modified samples exhibited boosted photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) with the assistance of visible light irradiation. Among modified gCN, the sample annealed at 500 °C for 4 h (500-4) in H2 atmosphere exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity—1.76 times higher compared to pristine gCN. Additionally, this sample presented high stability and durability after four cycles. It was noticed that treating gCN with hydrogen at elevated temperatures caused the creation of nitrogen vacancies on gCN surfaces acting as highly active sites enhancing the specific surface area and improving the mobility of photogenerated charge carriers leading to accelerating the photocatalytic activity. Therefore, it is believed that detailed optimization of thermal treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere is a facile approach to boost the photoactivity of gCN.

Although graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) has been intensively studied in photocatalytic research, its performance is still hindered by its inherently low photo-absorption and inefficient charge separation.

In this work, highly active graphitic carbon nitride composite photocatalysts with an isotype heterojunction semiconductor structure have been prepared through the molecular composite precursors consisting of urea and melamine. These photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, BET and transient photocurrent responses. The photodegradation of dyes in aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation has been investigated over carbon nitride photocatalysts consisting of different urea/melamine mass ratios. Further studies by photocurrent indicate that the photosynergistic effect of isotype heterojunction can remarkably enhance the photoinduced interfacial charge transfer, thereby increasing the charge separation during the photocatalytic reaction.

Despite being one of the oldest materials described in the chemical literature, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has just recently experienced a renaissance as a highly active photo/electrocatalyst, and the metal-free polymer was also shown to be have diverse applications in various fields.
