A robust and accurate tight-binding quantum chemical method (GFN2-xTB) was performed to study the electronic and optical properties of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and g-C3N4 modified with non-metal atom (B, C, N, O, F). The vertical ionization potential, electron affinity and global electrophilicity indexes were calculated and analyzed. The obtained results show that the doping of B, C, N, O or F atom onto the surface g-C3N4 is favorable in terms of formation energy. The introduction of non-metal atoms raises the Lewis acidity of g-C3N4. The calculated UV-VIS spectra show that the doping of non-metal atoms increases the absorption intensity of visible light compared to the pure g-C3N4.

A robust and accurate tight-binding quantum chemical method was performed to study adsorption process of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and  g-C3N4 modified with nickel cluster (Ni2). The adsorption energy, charges on atoms, bond orders have been calculated and analysed. The obtained results indicate that the adsorption of DDT on the pristine g-C3N4 is physical of nature. Ni2 cluster can be easily doped on g-C3N4 due to the formation of chemical bonds. The Ni2-g-C3N4 system exhibits enhanced adsorption ability for DDT.
