In order to overcome photocatalytic technology application limitations in water due to weak light intensity, it is crucial to synthesize photocatalysts that respond to weak light. In this study, porous and oxygen-doped carbon nitride (CN-MC) was synthesized via supramolecular preassembly technology using melamine and cyanuric chloride. The carbon nitride catalyst produced via this technology has a relatively high surface area (63.2 m² g⁻¹), irregular pores, and oxygen doping characteristics, which enhance the light capture capacity, increase the number of reactive sites, and accelerate electron–hole separation efficiency. Thus, the CN-MC exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity during the degradation of organic pollutants Rhodamine B (RhB, 95% removal within 6 h) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl, 70% removal within 6 h) under low-intensity light (the light intensity = 0.8~1.8 mW cm⁻² with a wavelength range of 300–700 nm). Mechanistic analysis showed that ·O₂⁻ and ·OH were the dominant active free radicals during RhB and TC-HCl photocatalytic degradation over CN-MC. The proposed synthesis strategy effectively improves the photocatalytic activity of graphite carbon nitride under weak light by producing a porous morphology and oxygen atom doping.
