High-pressure study of graphitic carbon nitrides modified with transition metals

Graphitic carbon nitride (g–C3N4) modified with transition metals was never investigated under compression. The aim of the project is to characterise Fe- and Mn-modified g–C3N4 under high-pressure at room temperature and laser heating. Phase transformation will be investigated in diamond anvil cells using powder X-ray diffraction to test high-pressure response of functionalized g–C3N4 as well as obtain structural and compressibility parameters characteristic for carbon nitride and find its stability region depending on the chemical functionality.
