Theoretical prerequisites, problems, and practical approaches to the preparation of carbon nitride: A Review

Abstract

Techniques for practical preparation of carbon nitride have been developed and tested by analyzing the currently available data on the methods and approaches to the synthesis of a hypothetical crystalline carbon nitride with due regard for its theoretical characteristics. The conclusions regarding the prospects of these approaches to the preparation of stoichiometric carbon nitride have been drawn from data of the study of its composition, X-ray powder diffraction and microstructural analyses, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.
