Quality Control

Our Carbon Nitride is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure consistency in composition, photocatalytic activity, and particle morphology. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as elemental analysis, surface area (BET), and bandgap energy. Specifications can be aligned with research or industrial grade requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to direct light should be avoided to maintain material integrity.
