In situ sulfur-doped mesoporous g-C3N4 (mpgCNS) was synthesized from a simple organosulfur compound, thiourea, using SiO2 nanoparticles as the hard template. The resultant product has a high surface area of 128 m2 g−1 and mesopores in the range of 10–20 nm. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy...
