Graphitic carbon nitride-based photocatalysts for the degradation of contaminants of emerging concern: recent advances and future perspectives

Year: 2026

Type: review

Abstract: . Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between structural engineering and photocatalytic performance in the degradation of various CECs. The review also discusses the main challenges such as catalyst deactivation, transformation product toxicity, and mass production restrictions. Finally, some emerging directions like AI-guided materials design, green synthesis pathways and pilot-scale practices are discussed that could be explored to close the gap between lab research and real-world applications.
