prepared by thermal condensation of melamine, urea or thiourea. For the sake of
comparison, a gC 3 N 4 sample obtained in the presence of cyanuric acid and thermally
exfoliated C 3 N 4 powders were also studied. The materials were physicochemically
characterized and their photocatalytic activity was studied for the selective oxidation of
benzyl alcohol (BA), 4-methoxy benzyl alcohol (4-MBA) and piperonyl alcohol (PA) in water …
