摘要

A convenient method is proposed using a heat-treatable volatile template to prepare hierarchical porous biochar (HPB). Litsea cubeba leaves and ZIF-8 served as carbon source and volatile hard template, respectively. The good compatibility between ZIF-8 and biomass facilitated their uniform dispersion, and the thermal decomposition of ZIF-8 created abundant pores in the HPB. By using ZIF-8 with different sizes as “modulators”, the textural properties of HPB can be controlled. The HPB derived from 200 nm-sized ZIF-8 exhibited ultra-high specific surface area, rich macro-meso-micro porous structure, and excellent electrocatalytic activity, which makes HPB-200 an effective electrochemical sensing platform. The sensor demonstrated an ultralow detection limit (0.2 nM) of Ponceau 4R, showing significant application potential in the field of electroanalytical sensing.
