Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) porous carbon nanosheets (PCNs) have attracted great attention for their combining both the unique properties of 2D materials and the porous features, but the synthesis of PCNs in a simple yet efficient way still remains a great challenge. Herein, N-doped porous two-dimensional carbon nanosheets (NPCNs) with high surface area and pore volume were fabricated successfully by using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a self-sacrificial template. Compared with ZIF-8 only derived microporous carbon supported Ru catalyst, Ru/NPCNs exhibit much higher catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of benzoic acid, giving a TOF of 1136.6 h−1 at 80 °C and 1 MPa H2. This work may provide a new choice for the synthesis of porous two-dimensional carbon nanosheets that possess a promising candidate as the catalyst support.
