    庚嗪基氮化碳形貌调控:0D—3D结构策略与光催化机制

    Morphology engineering of heptazine carbon nitride: 0D—3D structural strategies and photocatalytic mechanisms

    • 摘要: 庚嗪基氮化碳(g−C3N4)是以庚嗪结构单元为主体、经桥联N原子连接形成的聚合碳氮材料,是一种具有合适能带结构的非金属可见光响应光催化剂,因其成本低、易于获得、化学稳定性好、独特的电子能带结构、可见光响应、元素丰富、环境友好等优点,近年来受到广泛关注。然而,本征的光生载流子复合率高、比表面积小以及可见光吸收范围较窄等缺陷严重制约了其光催化效率的提升,形貌调控被认为是突破上述瓶颈的关键策略之一。系统综述了通过维度工程在零维量子点、一维纳米棒/纳米管、二维纳米片以及三维多孔/分级结构等方面的形貌调控研究进展,重点分析了自上而下与自下而上、模板法、超分子自组装、水热重组等合成策略对材料微观结构、电子能带及表面活性位点的影响规律。研究表明,低维化可借助量子限域效应、定向电荷传输通道及超薄结构显著增强光吸收与载流子分离效率;而三维结构则通过整合多维优势,在保持高活性的同时提升结构稳定性与传质能力。针对当前合成重复性差、结构演化机制不清及构效关系不明等瓶颈,提出了发展跨尺度协同结构、原位/工况表征技术及理论计算与试验联动的优化路径,为高性能g−C3N4光催化剂的理性设计及工程化应用提供指导。

       

      Abstract: Heptazine-based carbon nitride is a polymeric carbon nitride consisting primarily of heptazine units linked by bridging nitrogen atoms. As a metal-free, visible-light-responsive photocatalyst, it has garnered extensive attention in recent years due to its low cost, facile synthesis, excellent chemical stability, unique electronic band structure, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, its practical photocatalytic performance remains severely limited by intrinsic drawbacks, including rapid charge-carrier recombination, low specific surface area, and insufficient visible-light utilization. Morphology regulation has therefore emerged as an effective strategy to address these challenges. This review systematically summarizes recent progress in the dimensional engineering of g−C3N4, encompassing zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots, one-dimensional (1D) nanorods and nanotubes, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, and three-dimensional (3D) porous and hierarchical architectures. It critically analyzes the influence of various synthesis strategies—including top-down and bottom-up approaches, template methods, supramolecular self-assembly, and hydrothermal reassembly—on the material's microstructure, electronic band structure, and surface-active sites. The results indicate that dimensional reduction to low-dimensional structures significantly enhances light absorption and charge carrier separation efficiency via quantum confinement effects, shortened charge transport channels, and ultrathin architectures. Conversely, three-dimensional structures integrate multi-dimensional advantages, improving structural stability and mass transfer capabilities while maintaining high activity. To address current challenges such as poor synthetic reproducibility, unclear structural evolution mechanisms, and ambiguous structure–activity relationships, this review proposes the development of cross-scale synergistic structures, the application of in situ/operando characterization techniques, and the integration of theoretical calculations with experimental approaches. These strategies aim to guide the rational design and practical engineering application of high-performance g−C3N4 photocatalysts.
