Three-dimensional graphite carbon nitride (3D-CN) has received tremendous research interest due to its unique structural features, fascinating physicochemical properties, and widespread potential applications. Most syntheses of 3D-CN mainly focus on developing g-C3N4 (2.7 eV) using soft-templating hard-templating strategies. Nevertheless, the excellent photocatalytic activity is related small band gap, which relevant structure nitrogen (N) content. Meanwhile, it still a challenge prepare N-rich CN with special gap simple green strategy. Herein, novel, mesoporous rod-like (RN-g-C3N5) fabricated by facile KBr-guided approach 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. The KBr acting as guider can be easily removed water. Surprisingly, makes for usage visible light enhancement surface area RN-g-C3N5. More importantly, high N content result in narrow (1.90 eV). Therefore, RN-g-C3N5 displays notably superior performance. performance great prospects environmental remediation.
