Summary: Porous graphitic carbon nitride layers (UMCN-A1.25) with a typical three-dimensional network structure were prepared by a simple calcination process. NH4HCO3 was used as a pore generator and glucose was used as the carbon precursor, while urea and melamine functioned as binary precursors for the sacrificial template. The hierarchical pore structure and high nitrogen-doping level contribute to the high specific capacitances and stable charge-discharge behavior of UMCN-A1.25.
