Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) is a promising material in the field of photocatalysis. Mott-Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the electronic structure of exfoliated GCN. The conduction band potential was measured by Mott-Schottky measurement. The results of Mott-Schottky measurements suggest that exfoliation can be used to modify the electronic structure of GCN and potentially improve its photocatalytic properties. Electrochemical measurement in combination with photodegradation studies provided a deeper insight into the photocatalytic mechanism of action of these materials and will allow further improvement in its photocatalytic qualities.
