Introduction

Catalytic Applications of Carbon Nitride-Based Nanomaterials presents a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, properties, and catalytic applications of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-based nanomaterials in modern chemistry. Recognized for their structural versatility, stability, and tunable electronic properties, carbon nitride nanomaterials have emerged as promising catalysts for a wide range of organic transformations, photocatalytic processes and electrochemical applications. This volume highlights recent advances and provides a systematic account of their growing role in sustainable catalysis and materials science.

The chapters examine the use of g-C₃N₄ and its doped, composite, and metal-decorated derivatives in carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation, oxidation reactions, heterocycle synthesis, water splitting, photocatalytic organic reactions, oxygen reduction and electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants. Together, they demonstrate how carbon nitride-based nanomaterials contribute to efficient, environmentally responsible catalytic processes while expanding opportunities in energy conversion and analytical technologies.
