Abstract
We report on a wide-range Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigation of the g-C3N4 photocatalysis systems combined with metals/nonmetals, especially those available in plants and involved in the natural photosynthesis process, such as K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Fe, Co, Cr, S and B. It is found that doping increases the range at which light absorption occurs to significantly large regions of the visible spectrum. These findings suggested that the g-C3N4 can be a promising system for the photosynthesis process.
