I am working on the synthesis of N-doped carbon materials using melamine or L-alanine as nitrogen-rich precursors. However, I have observed that the yield of the final product is relatively low due to the high nitrogen content and low carbon content of these precursors. I am curious about the strategies that can be employed to optimize the synthesis process and improve the overall yield.

Some potential approaches I have considered include:

I would greatly appreciate any insights, experiences, or suggestions from the research community regarding these strategies or any other methods to enhance the yield of N-doped carbon derived from melamine or L-alanine precursors.

Thank you in advance for your valuable input!
