Abstract

Ultrathin graphitic C3N4 (g-C3N4) nanofibers about 5–10nm in diameters have been rapidly prepared via alkali-catalyzed hydrolysis of bulk g-C3N4 in concentrated alkaline aqueous solution. The morphologies of the g-C3N4 nanostructures can be facilely controlled by varying reaction time, and a scissoring mechanism is proposed to explain the formation process involved. The g-C3N4 nanofibers can serve as a novel fluorosensor for rapid Fe3+ detection with high sensitivity and selectivity.
