Background
The carbon nitride is an inorganic metal material, has high stability, acid and alkali resistance and semiconductor property, and has wide application prospect in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, fuel cells, gas adsorption and storage and the like. The carbon nitride is prepared by thermal polymerization of nitrogen-containing precursors (such as melamine, dicyandiamide, urea, thiourea, cyanuric acid, etc.). However, the specific surface area and pore volume of carbon nitride prepared by the common thermal polymerization method are small, so that the catalytic performance of the carbon nitride is not high. Increasing the specific surface area of carbon nitride is the key to improving its performance. At present, the methods for preparing carbon nitride with high specific surface area mainly comprise: hard template, soft template, and no template methods.
The hard template method is to use the existing solid as a template, introduce liquid organic precursors such as cyanamide, dicyandiamide and urea into the template, fill the liquid organic precursors into the pores or gaps of the hard template, and remove the template by acid or alkali etching after high-temperature roasting to obtain the porous carbon nitride material (Wangyue, Jianright, ShangZhongkun, Shangjie, LiYongxin. Proc. physico-chemistry report, 2016, 32 (8): 1913-1928). However, the hard template method uses a large amount of acid or alkali for removing the template, which is not environmentally friendly. The soft template method is to use surfactant as soft template, self-assemble the precursor and the soft template to form an ordered structure, decompose the soft template to form a pore channel in the high-temperature polymerization stage, and obtain the porous graphite phase carbon nitride (Lirong, Rongrui, Gonghong, Hengheng. novel chemical material, 2017, 45(1): 35-37.). Compared with the hard template method, the soft template method has the advantages of simple preparation and environmental friendliness, but the soft template has higher price and is not beneficial to large-scale production. The template-free method is to prepare the porous carbon nitride material by using gas released by raw materials in the high-temperature polymerization process as a pore-foaming agent. Urea or thiourea is taken as a raw material and is directly calcined in the air, and a pore structure is formed in a bubbling manner in the gas generated in the calcining process, so that a carbon nitride material (Fanqijing, Liujian army, in the spring, the left victory, the chemical engineering progress 2014, 33 (5): 1185-1194) is obtained, but the product yield is only 4-6% generally by adopting the method, and the product yield is lower. Therefore, the development of a high-efficiency preparation method which has the advantages of simple process, low cost and environmental friendliness is of great significance.

Firstly carrying out a dark reaction for 1h, namely, carrying out a reaction without turning on a lamp, turning on a xenon lamp to carry out a photocatalytic reaction after the dark reaction is finished, extracting 5mL of liquid by using a needle tube with a filter membrane every 20min, measuring the absorbance of the liquid at 554nm by using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and monitoring the reaction process. In addition, a comparative experiment was conducted without adding the porous carbon nitride material, and the rest of the process was the same. After the reaction is finished, the catalyst is centrifugally separated, washed by deionized water for 3 times and then reused, and the repeatability of the material is tested.
