TLDR
In this article, photoactive condensed carbon nitride nanorods (CNRs) can be obtained via confined thermal condensation of cyanamide inside the nanochannels of an anodic alumni oxide (AAO) membrane template.Abstract:
Photoactive, condensed carbon nitride nanorods (CNRs) can be obtained via confined thermal condensation of cyanamide inside the nanochannels of an anodic alumni oxide (AAO) membrane template. The promotion of a more condensed network of CNRs with lowered HOMO in water splitting (including both H2 and O2 revolution) and photocurrent output was demonstrated.read more
