Inside Cover: Graphitic Carbon Nitride/Graphene Hybrids as New Active Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage (ChemNanoMat 5/2015)

Abstract

Energyc onversion and storagedevices play an important role in industry and society with the rapid growth of energy consumption. Developing ah ighly efficient, environmentally friendly device mainly depends on improvements in high-performance electrode materials or catalysts.R ecent-ly,g raphitic carbon nitride/graphene (g-C 3 N 4 /graphene) hybrids have drawn considerable attention and shown great potential as active materials in the field of energy conversion and storaged ue to their unique and tunable nanostructure, high nitrogen content,a nd conductivity.T his review focuses on the recent significant advances in the fabrication and application of g-C 3 N 4 /graphene hybridsa se lectro-or photoca-talystsa nd electrode materials.S ynthetic strategies and applications for photo-or electro-related devices are presented , accompanied with ad iscussion of the challenges and re-searchd irectionsf or the future development of g-C 3 N 4 /gra-phene hybrids.
