In this paper, carbon nitride nanotubes (CNNTs) have been synthesized with porous anodic aluminum oxide membrane as template by the thermal polymerization of sol-gel precursors for the first time. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to characterize the morphology and composition of the as-prepared nanotubes. The electrocatalytic activity and stability of CNNTs, towards methanol electrooxidation in 0.5 mol/dm(3) H2SO4 solutions containing 1 mol/dm(3) CH3OH are presented at room temperature.
