Facile and direct synthesis of porous nanorod-type graphitic carbon nitride/CuO composite (CuO-g-C3 N4 ) has been achieved by using a Cu-melamine supramolecular framework as a precursor. The CuO-g-C3 N4 nanocomposite demonstrated improved visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities. The results indicate that metal-melamine supramolecular frameworks can be promising precursors for the preparation of efficient g-C3 N4 nanocomposite photocatalysts.
