Owing to the rising pressure on the requirement of commercializing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy technologies such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), metal–air batteries, and water splitting electrolyzers, it is urgent to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts to replace costly platinum group metals. Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) have attracted intensive focus due to their unique properties and impressive performance in challenging the widely accepted nitrogen-doped carbon materials in electrocatalytic fields. However, the relatively poor conductivity limits further improvement of g-C3N4-based electrocatalysts. Thus, this Review is primarily focused on recent progress in the functionalization of g-C3N4 materials for oxygen reduction and water splitting reactions. Especially, an innovative and in-depth understanding of g-C3N4 materials is presented by systematically summarizing the function of g-C3N4 materials, such as serving as active sites, coordination complexes,...
