Facile synthesis of transparent carbon nitride as an adsorbent for rhodamine 6G

초록

The amputation of azo dyes from effluents is crucial for producing potable water. In this study, we report the preparation of transparent exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride (EGCNs) as an efficient and rapid adsorbent platform. The prepared EGCNs demonstrated the ability to adsorb azo dyes within a remarkably short duration of less than 5 min without requiring additional energy. A UV-Vis absorption study showed adsorption efficiencies of similar to 69 +/- 1 % for EGCNs. The UV-Vis transmission properties of EGCNs may open new possibilities for their application in the developing future optical and transparent electronic devices.
