As an initial step towards understanding the mechanism behind photocatalysis in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), we present a first-principles density functional theory (DFT) study of H 2O molecular adsorption on the tri-s-triazine-based structure. The optimization of the system determined that th...
