Abstract

Carbon nitrides with graphite-like or onion-like lamellar structures were synthesized at low temperatures by the reactions of cyanuric chloride (C 3N 3Cl 3) with NaNH 2, K, or NaN 3. The synthesized samples were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis (from C–N combustion), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution electron microscopy. The synthesized carbon nitride with a graphite-like lamellar structure was obtained and observed for the first time. The formation mechanism of the carbon nitride was discussed.
