POLYMERIC GRAPHITIC CARBON NITRIDES AS METAL-FREE MULTIPURPOSE ORGANIC CATALYSTS
The development of new promising metal-free catalysts is of great significance in chemistry. This review paper presents a great advance for designing and developing highly efficient heterogeneous organic catalysts based on polymeric carbon nitrides. These challenging research areas have drawn increasing interests from many research groups including our own. Possibilities of the current trends of practical application of graphitic carbon nitride materials as effective photo-, electro- and chemical metal-free catalysts are briefly analyzed.
