Abstract
Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is well known as one of the most promising materials for photocatalytic activities, such as CO2 reduction and water splitting, and environmental remediation through the removal of organic pollutants. On the other hand, carbon nitride also pose outstanding properties and extensive application forecasts in the aspect of field emission properties. In this mini review, the novel structure, synthesis and preparation techniques of full-bodied g-C3N4-based composite and films were revealed. This mini review discussed contemporary advancement in the structure, synthesis, and diverse methods used for preparing g-C3N4 nanostructured materials. The present study gives an account of full knowledge of the use of the exceptional structural and properties, and the preparation techniques of graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and its applications.

Liu and Cohen discovered the (Table 1) soft template technique [26], and the other Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) modification schemes such as acidic solution impregnation, the ultrasonic dispersion method, and chemical functionalization [26] were discovered. These methods as described above were good signs of the principle in modifying the surface chemical properties and the texture of g-C3N4, alone with its electronic potentials. Thermal treatments, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) [36], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [37], solvothermal method [38], and solid-state reaction [38], are used for polymerizing plentiful nitrogen-rich and oxygenfree compound precursors comprising pre-bonded C–N core structures, and these serve as the basic techniques for graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) synthesis
Future Perspectives From the discussion, the future research of the g-C3N4 nano-based compound may focus on synthesizing innovative g-C3N4 nano-based particle which are responsive to morphology monitoring, evaluating the photocatalysis practicality and efficacy of traditional synthesis and preparative strategies of g-C3N4 nano-based compound, and exploring the applications of diverse g-C3N4 nano-based particles in treating commercial wastewater, its effective application in solar energy utilization, environmental treatment, biomedical and sensing applications by fully assessing their photocatalytic ability, cost, energy consumption, and reusability
Summary
The central energy source elated from the extraterrestrial space, solar energy capacities to surpass the almanac world’s energy request by a large border [1]. In most chemical degradation methods, photocatalytic degradation vis-à-vis photons and a catalyst is often identified as the best in controlling of organic wastewater, solar energy utilization, Darkwah and Ao Nanoscale Research Letters (2018) 13:388 environmental treatment, and biomedical and sensing applications [3, 5].
