The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation and
photocatalysis, and discloses a high-activity
graphite-phase
carbon nitride material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: forming a self-generated gas
atmosphere a gas generated from a precursor by
pyrolysis in the high-temperature calcining process under the control on an
inert gas, and guiding synthesis of a
carbon nitride material, thereby obtaining a flaky porous
graphite-phase
carbon nitride material. According to the preparation method, after the
inert gas is not introduced any longer, a self-generated gas generated from the precursor is relatively uniform at different parts, and the carbon
nitride material prepared with the preparation method is uniform in morphology and relatively good in
crystal form; due to the escape of the self-generated gas, the material is effectively pored, and thus the specific surface area and the active sites of the material are increased; due to the self-generated gas
atmosphere, the
polymerization degree of the precursor is reduced, and the obtained carbon
nitride material has a relatively large amount of unpolymerized amino or imino groups. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple, efficient and low in cost, and the carbon
nitride material prepared with the preparation method is excellent in
photocatalysis activity and very good in practicability.
