Carbon　materials　have　become　one　of　the　research　hotspots　in　the　field　of　catalysis　as　a　typical　representative　of　non-metallic　catalytic　materials.　Herein,　a　facile　synthetic　strategy　is　developed　to　fabricate　a　series　of　hollow　carbon　nanoworms　(h-NCNWs)　that　contain　nitrogen　up　to　9.83　wt%　by　employing　graphitic　carbon　nitride　(g-C3N4)　as　the　sacrificing　template　and　solid　nitrogen　source.　The　h-NCNWs　catalysts　were　characterized　by　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD),　high-resolution　transmission　electron　microscope　(HR-TEM),　N-2　adsorption-desorption,　Fourier　transform　infrared　spectroscopy　(FT-IR),　thermal　gravimetric　(TG),　Raman　spectra,　and　X-ray　photoelectron　spectroscopies　(XPS).　The　catalytic　activities　of　the　h-NCNWs　catalysts　for　selective　oxidation　of　benzyl　alcohol　with　O-2　were　also　evaluated.　The　characterization　results　revealed　that　the　h-NCNWs　catalysts　displayed　a　unique　hollow　worm-like　nanostructure　with　turbostratic　carbon　shells.　The　nitrogen　content　and　shell　thickness　can　be　tuned　by　varying　the　relative　ratio　of　resorcinol　to　g-C3N4　during　the　preparation　process.　Furthermore,　nitrogen　is　incorporated　to　the　carbon　network　in　the　form　of　graphite　(predominantly)　and　pyridine,　which　is　critical　for　the　enhancement　of　the　catalytic　activity　of　carbon　catalysts　for　the　selective　oxidation　of　benzyl　alcohol.　At　a　reaction　temperature　of　120　degrees　C,　a　24.9%　conversion　of　benzyl　alcohol　with　＞　99%　selectivity　to　benzaldehyde　can　be　achieved　on　the　h-NCNWs　catalyst　prepared　with　a　mass　ratio　of　resorcinol　to　g-C3N4　of　0.5.　However,　the　catalytic　activities　of　the　h-NCNWs　catalysts　were　dependent　on　the　amount　of　N　dopants,　in　particular　graphitic　nitrogen　species.　The　conversion　of　benzyl　alcohol　markedly　decreased　to　13.1%　on　the　h-NCNWs　catalyst　prepared　with　a　mass　ratio　of　resorcinol　to　g-C3N4　of　1.5.　Moreover,　the　h-NCNWs　catalyst　showed　excellent　stability　during　the　reaction　process.　The　conversion　of　benzyl　alcohol　and　the　high　selectivity　to　aldehyde　can　be　kept　within　five　catalytic　runs　over　the　h-NCNWs0.5　catalyst.　These　results　indicate　that　rationally　designed　carbon　materials　have　great　potential　as　highly　efficient　heterogeneous　catalysts　for　oxidation　reactions.
