Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (gC3N4), a two-dimensional (2D) graphite-like structure, has attracted increasing attention for supercapacitor for its good EDLC behaviour due to its high nitrogen content that can provide more active reaction sites and additional electrons to enhance conductivity and improve the wettability with the electrolytes. The preparation of Bulk gC3N4, is very simple which is done by thermal polymerization. gC3N4 sheets are prepared from bulk gC3N4 through hydrothermal treatment. XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), SEM(Scanning electron microscopy)  and CV(cyclic voltammetry) were taken.
