• As a metal-free semiconductor, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has received extensive attention due to its high stability, nontoxicity, facile and low-cost synthesis, appropriate band gap in the visible spectral range and wide availability of resources. The dimensions of g-C 3 N 4 can influence the regime of the confinement of electrons, and consequently, g-C 3 N 4 with various dimensionalities shows different properties, making them available for many stimulating applications. Although there are some reviews focusing on the synthesis strategy and applications of g-C 3 N 4 , there is still a lack of comprehensive review that systemically summarises the synthesis and application of different dimensions of g-C 3 N 4 , which can provide an important theoretical and practical basis for the development of g-C 3 N 4 with different dimensionalities and maximises their potential in diverse applications. By reviewing the latest progress of g-C 3 N 4 studies, we aim to summarise the preparation of g-C 3 N 4 with different dimensionalities using various structural engineering strategies, discuss the fundamental bottlenecks of currently existing methods and their solution strategies, and explore their applications in energy and environmental applications. Furthermore, it also puts forward the views on the future research direction of these unique materials.
