Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) synthesised from a urea precursor is an excellent CO<sub>2</sub> reduction photocatalyst using [Co(bpy)<sub>n</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> as a co-catalyst. A five-fold increase in activity for the highly polymerised urea derived g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> is achieved compared to alternative precursors. Transient absorption, time-resolved and steady-state emission studies indicate that the enhanced activity is related to both an increased driving force for photoelectron transfer and a greater availability of photogenerated charges.
