Abstract
In the present paper, we reported the preparation of Graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) nanotubes using porous anodic aluminium oxide membranes as templates through thermal condensation of cynamide at 500 °C. Structural analysis of synthesized nanotubes was systematically carried out by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and results confirmed the growth of GCN inside the nanochannels of anodic alumina templates. Optical features of GCN were carried out using UV visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence. PL analysis showed that a strong emission peak occurs in the wavelength range of 350–600 nm in blue region. Thermal behaviour of GCN was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
