Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has a number of valuable features that have been recognized during the studies related to its photocatalytic activity enhancement derived by visible light. Because of these characteristics, g-CN can be used as a detecting signal transducer with different transmission modalities. The latest up-to-date detection capabilities of modified g-CN nanoarchitectures are covered in this study. The structural features and synthetic methodologies have been discussed in a number of reports. Herein, employment of the g-CN as a promising probing modality for the recognition of different toxic heavy metals is the promising feature of the present study.
