Catalytic Applications of Carbon Nitride-Based Nanomaterials
Edited by Vijai Kumar Rai, Manorama Singh, and Ankita Rai
Catalytic Applications of Carbon Nitride-Based Nanomaterials presents a focused overview of the synthesis, properties and catalytic applications of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-based nanomaterials in modern chemistry. With their structural versatility, chemical stability and tunable electronic properties, carbon nitride-based materials have attracted growing interest as catalysts for organic synthesis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and environmental applications.
The volume brings together recent developments in the design and application of g-C₃N₄ and its doped, composite and metal-decorated derivatives. The chapters explore their roles in carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formation, oxidation reactions, heterocycle synthesis, photocatalytic transformations, water splitting, oxygen reduction and electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants.
Particular attention is given to how catalyst design and functionalization can influence catalytic activity and selectivity across diverse chemical processes. The book also highlights the potential of carbon nitride-based nanomaterials in sustainable chemistry, energy conversion and environmental monitoring, demonstrating their relevance to the development of more efficient and environmentally responsible catalytic technologies.
By bringing together advances across organic chemistry, materials science, photocatalysis and electrochemistry, the volume provides a useful reference for researchers seeking to understand the expanding role of carbon nitride nanomaterials in contemporary catalysis. It will be of particular interest to researchers and advanced readers in organic chemistry, materials science, catalysis, nanotechnology and chemical engineering.
