Summary: This work presents a novel tubular g-C3N4 with a hierarchical core-shell structure achieved through the incorporation of phosphorous elements and nitrogen vacancies. The core is composed of randomly stacked ultra-thin nanosheets, enabling efficient electron/hole separation and visible-light absorption. This photocatalyst demonstrates outstanding performance in the photodegradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline hydrochloride under low intensity visible light, as well as remarkable hydrogen evolution rate under visible light. The introduction of phytic acid into the melamine and urea solution during hydrothermal treatment leads to the formation of this hierarchical structure, offering a facile and scalable approach for mass production.

Summary: Electrochemical sensors consisting of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are widely used in different fields due to their inherent characteristics such as miniaturization, cost reduction, low sample consumption, compatibility with portable equipment, and disposability. The performance of SPEs is directly influenced by the quality of the material used for printing and modifying the electrodes. Various carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon black, carbon quantum dots, graphitic carbon nitride, and biochar, have been explored for the preparation and modification of SPEs, enhancing their electrochemical response and sensitivity, as well as allowing the immobilization of biological agents for biosensor manufacturing. This review provides an overview of the current use of carbonaceous nanomaterials in the context of electrochemical SPE sensors and discusses potential future directions.
