Nitrogen-doped chitosan-derived carbon nanosheets with hierarchically porous structure were synthesized via a facile pyrolysis treatment of chitosan/urea/NaHCO3 mixture (denoted as CNU). The contents of reactive functionalities, graphitization degree and porous structure of CNU can be effectively ta...
