A molecular composite of melamine and thiourea was prepared and used as a precursor to synthesize thin-layer g-C3N4nanosheets with large specific surface area and tunable electronic structures. It was found that the structure, morphology, optical properties and photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared g-C3N4(CNMT) could be tuned by varying the thiourea molar percentage in the composite precursor, which was optimized at 71%. The optimized thin-layer g-C3N4nanosheets (CNMT-71%) had a specific surface area of 106.4 m2/g, being 3 times that of conventional bulk g-C3N4. Under visible light irradiation, the use of CNMT-71% achieved a complete photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) in 90 min with a rate constant of 0.04 min−1, which was about 5.7 times that of the conventional g-C3N4(0.007 min−1). The enhanced photocatalytic performance of CNMT was attributed to its improved nano-structure, increased specific surface area, and improved separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. All of these were closely related to the inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in the composite precursor and the thermal exfoliation of g-C3N4being enhanced by in situ generated gas from the decomposition of thiourea during the thermal polycondensation of the composite.
