title: Formation of nitrogen-doped mesoporous graphitic carbon with the help of melamine.
abstract: An efficient and facile synthesis method of nitrogen-doped mesoporous graphitic carbon (NMGC) was reported with melamine as a nitrogen source and citric acid as a carbon source. By taking advantage of the functional groups on melamine and citric acid, a uniform mixture of these two components was obtained via a self-assembly process. Accordingly, the nitrogen-doped mesoporous graphitic carbon (NMGC) can be obtained by means of the high temperature treatment. This as-prepared NMGC showed a promising potential as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries.
