Student Seminar in Chemical Engineeering (DEQ-FEUP) Heterogeneous photocatalysis appears as a green sustainable alternative to the industrial production of valueadded chemicals, operating under environmentally friendly conditions. Graphite-like carbon nitride (GCN) is an interesting semiconductor material, with metal-free character and absorption ability in the visible range spectrum. In the present work, GCN was obtained through co-polymerization of dicyandiamide with citric acid (CA). The photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts (GCN-zCA) was tested both in the selective production of panisaldehyde (AAD) and hydrogen (H2) evolution, under […]
