Exploiting efficient photocatalysts with strengthened structure for solar-driven alcohol oxidation is of great significance. The photocatalytic performance graphitic carbon nitrides can be considerably promoted by modulating its crystallinity. Results confirmed that a high crystallinity accelerates the separation and transfer photogenerated charge carriers, thus providing more free charges photoredox reactions. More importantly, facilitated adsorption benzyl desorption benzaldehyde...
