A thermochemical method has been applied and a new routine has been developed for the synthesis of a layered material from graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) using urea and melamine compounds. The production of the graphite-like carbon nitride has been proven by TEM, electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The electrochemical studies have shown that the obtained material can be a promising candidate for metal-free catalysts of oxygen electrodes for fuel cells and a base for the development of novel functional composite materials.

Key words: graphite-like carbon nitride, thermochemical method of synthesis, metal-free catalysts, x-ray diffraction, TEM
