Abstract Oxygen doped mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride(O-mpg-C3N4) was innovatively prepared through facile two-step synthesis and characterized through different characterization tools, such as XRD、SEM、XPS etc. These characterizations confirm that the as-prepared sample has separated plate-like structure with lots of gaps and oxygen atoms have been successfully doped into them. Evaluated by photodegradation of Rhodamine B and Methyl Orange, the O-mpg-C3N4 photocatalyst exhibits higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency, which is attributed to the added active spots, shorter electronic transmission distance and wider range of light absorption. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared catalysts didn’t decrease significantly after five photodegradation cycles, showing a high photocatalytic stability.
