Abstract

Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres with engineered large tunable mesoporous (~20 nm) shells were successfully synthesized for the first time by using the colloidal silica and the diblock copolymer PS-b-PEO as the dual-template and dopamine as the precursor. The unique structural properties enable them to be promising materials as adsorbents, catalyst supports, electrode materials, drug delivery carriers and hosts for active substances.
