Abstract

A blue light mediated photochemical process using solid graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) in ambient air/isopropanol vapour is suggested to be linked to "nanophase" water inclusions and is shown to produce approx. 50 μmol H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> per gram of g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, which can be stored in the solid g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> for later release for applications, for example, in disinfection or anti-bacterial surfaces.
