Abstract Alkali metals co-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared using melamine as precursor, KCl and NaCl as molten salts, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Photoluminescence (PL). By controlling the weight ratio of eutectic salts to melamine, the VB and CB potentials of prepared g-C3N4 could be tuned from +1.55 V and -1.10 V to +2.27 V and -0.27 V, respectively. Besides, the ions embedding inhibited the crystal growth, enhanced the separation rate of photo-generated electrons and holes, and enlarged the surface area. The catalytic abilities of products were investigated by photodegradation and mineralization of Rhodamine (RhB) under visibe light. The results showed that photocatalytic activity and stability of prepared catalysts were significantly improved after alkali metals doping.
