Abstract

We report a novel and versatile fabrication strategy for functional nanonetwork-structured carbon nitride with Au nanoparticle yolks (FNNS-C₃N₄-Au) based on hairy poly(acrylic acid)-grafted SiO₂ nanospheres (Au@SiO₂-g-PAA). Benefiting from the three-dimensional nanonetwork structure and well-distributed Au nanoparticles, the as-prepared nanocomposites demonstrated excellent photocatalysis performances (degradation rate constant: 1.8 × 10⁻² min⁻¹).
