Abstract A mesoporous carbon nitride material (MCN) was nanocasted by using a soft-template of triblock surfactant Pluronic F127, a carbon resource from resol and dicyandiamide (DCDA) as a nitrogen precursor. The obtained MCN was activated to improve its porous channel (AMCN). A reference sample of mesoporous carbon (MC) material was also prepared in the same protocol without DCDA. The tunable mesostructures (p6m symmetry) was proved by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy images and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy presented about 3.1 wt% of doped-nitrogen in the obtained MCN. In comparison to the MC, a significant increase of BET surface area (333 m2/g for MC, 414 m2/g for MCN and 951 m2/g for AMCN) and an enlargement of pore volume (0.23 cm3/g for MC, 0.25 cm3/g for MCN and 0.33 cm3/g for AMCN), which contributed to a noticeable enhancement of the room temperature CO2 uptake from 1.8 mmol/g (for MC) to 3.7 mmol/g (for MCN) and 4.1 mmol/g (for AMCN). This work emphasized that the assistance of DCDA and further activation resulted in enlargement of both pore volume and BET surface area promising a feasible application of MCN and AMCN in adsorption technology.

Mesoporous carbon nitride materials have been synthesized using SBA-15 by pore filling technique whereas mesoporous boron nitride and boron carbon nitride have been prepared by elemental substitution technique using mesoporous carbon as template. The obtained materials have been unambiguously characterized by sophisticated techniques such as XRD, HRTEM, EELS, XPS, FT-IR and N2 adsorption. The textural parameters of the materials are quite higher as compared to the respective nonporous nitrides. These materials could offer great potential for the applications, such as catalytic supports, gas storage, biomolecule adsorption and drug delivery.

Aniline is a toxic organic pollutant that is abundantly present in the environment. One of approaches to remove the aniline is by adsorption process. In this study, mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) was proposed for the first time to be a potential adsorbent for aniline. The adsorption studies were carried out at room temperature on the aniline solution with various initial concentrations for both bulk carbon nitride (BCN) and MCN. Owing to its larger surface area, the MCN showed much higher adsorption capacity towards aniline compared to the BCN. This result indicated that adsorbent with large surface area is very crucial in the adsorption of aniline. Comparison study was also carried out using mesoporous silica, MCM-41, which was reported to act as a good adsorbent for aniline. The adsorption capability of MCN was found to be higher than that of MCM-41. It was suggested that the MCN with larger pore diameter might have more suitable and favourable adsorption sites for aniline compared to MCM-41. This study obviously showed that MCN would be a new potential adsorbent for removal of aniline.
