Description

Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C₃N₄) Powder, 1–10 µm

Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C₃N₄) is a two-dimensional, polymeric semiconductor material composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms arranged in a layered hexagonal structure similar to graphene. Unlike conventional carbon materials, g-C₃N₄ contains nitrogen-rich frameworks that provide unique photocatalytic, electronic, and surface-active properties.

With an average particle size of 1–10 µm and a band gap of ~2.7 eV, this powder is highly efficient at absorbing visible light, making it a versatile material for applications in photocatalysis, energy storage, and advanced electronics. Its high chemical stability, low density, and tunable surface area further enhance its usability across scientific research and industrial applications.
