Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Poly(triazine imides) intercalated with Li⁺ and X⁻ (PTI/X, X=Cl or Br), which are described widely as crystalline polymeric carbon nitrides, were synthesized in a facile manner by heating a mixture of melamine and LiX. This method has the advantages of low cost, scalable production, and high efficiency. Importantly, both PTI/Cl and PTI/Br exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic performance compared to conventional graphitic polymeric carbon nitride in the degradation of rhodamine B under visible‐light irradiation because of their higher visible‐light‐harvesting ability and charge carrier separation efficiency.</p> </abstract>
