Enhanced oxidation ability of g-C3N4 photocatalyst via C60 modification

- A novel and simple synthetic approach toward π-system C60/g-C3N4 is developed.
- The VB of g-C3N4 shifts to lower energy position and gives enhanced photo-oxidation capability.
- The C60/g-C3N4 shows dramatic photocurrent response and photocatalytic activity.
- The main oxidative species in C60/g-C3N4 system is not same as that of in g-C3N4.
