Abstract

Flexible mesoporous g-C₃N₄ nanorods with open channels, synthesized via nanocasting, can act as catalyst support, solid stabilizer and photosensitizer simultaneously for anchoring uniform metal nanoparticles with high compatibility with the composition, the synthetic method and the particle size. The final hybrid nanorods exhibit high stability and catalytic/photocatalytic activity.
