Abstract

A novel and facile template-free method was presented to fabricate a network structured mesoporous g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ nanocomposite with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity. The protonation effect accompanied with TiO₂ nanoparticle growth is believed to be a probable mechanism for the formation of such a porous structure of the g-C₃N₄ matrix.
