It is shown that post-synthetic thermal treatment of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), obtained by pyrolysis of melamine, in molten potassium and lithium salts leads to a sixfold increase in its photocatalytic activity in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol by air to benzaldehyde in visible light at room temperature, and this is much higher when oxygen is used as oxidant. The conversion of benzyl alcohol and the selectivity for benzaldehyde under optimal conditions are 81% and 96%, respectively.
