Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride as a photocatalyst seeking attention nowadays, due to its thermal stability, band structure, and chemical properties. Herein, we reported a boron sulfur co-doped graphitic carbon nitride (B@S-g-C3N4) photocatalyst synthesized by a one-pot thermal polycondensation mechanism. However, it was observed that due to co-doping in native carbon nitride structure the photocatalytic behavior and the band structure enhanced which was capable of fascinating the demand of organic transformations i.e. photocatalytic and charge transfer capability. The synthesized B@S-g-C3N4 photocatalyst was characterized by UV–vis DRS, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, XPS and electrochemical properties. In addition, the synthesized B@S-g-C3N4 photocatalyst is a metal-free carbon nitride photocatalyst proven to be highly effective in performing organic transformations (conversion yield 98 %) like C-N bond formation under visible light source.
