In this article, Dr. Banavoth’s research team has designed and demonstrated an n-p type homostructural metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) semiconductor for pollutant abatement and energy storage application. The extended π-conjugative 2, 5-Thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDA) molecule grafted g-C3N4 exhibited charge capacitive robust cyclic stability of 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 83%.
