Top left to right bottom: the middle finger glove tip from a medium size nitrile glove was cut out and stuffed with granular dichloroisocyanuric acid, sodium salt hydrate (top inset structure). The stuffed tip was hermitically folded and placed at the bottom of an alumina crucible. After the quick addition of fuming nitric acid, the nitrile wrap was ignited, providing the necessary heat for the thermal transformation of the enclosed triazine derivative into graphitic carbon nitride. The inner product was mechanically separated from the outer carbon debris in the form of yellow chunks (glass vial at far-right bottom). Purification of the chunks afforded yellow graphitic carbon nitride powder (bottom inset).
