title: One-step electrochemical synthesis of ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets and their application to the detection of uric acid.
abstract: Ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4) with a thickness of about 2 nm were synthesized by a one-step electrochemical method for the first time. The possible mechanism of the electrochemical synthesis was discussed. This as-synthesized g-C3N4 showed intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and was successfully applied for the detection of uric acid.
