Abstract
AbstractTime‐resolved EPR (TR‐EPR) demonstrates the formation of well‐defined spin triplet excitons in carbon nitride. This permits to experimentally probe the extent of the triplet wavefunction which delocalizes over several tri‐s‐triazine units. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the TR‐EPR signal reveals the mobility of the triplet excitons. By employing monochromatic light excitation in the range 430–600 nm, the energy of the spin triplet is estimated to be ≈0.2 eV above the conduction band edge, proving that the triplet exciton lies above the corresponding singlet. Comparison between amorphous and graphitic forms establishes the singlet‐triplet inversion as a general feature of carbon nitride materials.
