Fig. 14.2 Calculated energy diagram for the synthesis of g-C 3 N 4 . Cyanamide as the starting
precursor is condensed into melamine at first. Further condensation can then proceed through the
triazine route (dash-dot line) to C 3 N 4 , or melamine forms melem and then follows the tri-s-triazine
route (dashed line) to form C 6 N 8 [27]. (Reprinted with permission from Ref. [27]. Copyright 2008,
