Study on the Catalytic Performance of Imide in Degradation of Water Pollutants

Study on the construction of imide-modified carbon nitride/MIL heterostructure and the performance of photocatalytic degradation of water pollutants

Graphite carbon nitride (gC ₃ N ₄ ) is a metal-free semiconductor commonly used in photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
