However, their synthesis remains a great challenge with conventional strategies. In this work, we demonstrate that hollow carbon nanospheres of unprecedentedly small sizes （down to - 32.5 nm and with thickness of - 3.9 nm） can be produced on a large scale by a templating process in a unique reverse micelle system. Reverse micelles enable a spatially confined Stober process that produces uniform silica nanospheres with significantly reduced sizes compared with those from a conventional Stober process, and a subsequent well-controlled sol-gel coating process with a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin on these silica nanospheres as a precursor of the hollow carbon nanospheres. Owing to the short diffusion length resulting from their hollow structure, as well as their small size and microporosity, these hollow carbon nanospheres show excellent capacity and cycling stability when used as anode materials for lithium/sodium-ion batteries.展开更多

The precursor was synthesized by templating method using nonionic Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) as surfactants, which was proved by TG-DTG, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. The analysis results indicated that regular cylindrical-to-hexagonal shaped pores with several nanometers were obtained. The structure and morphology of the SrAl2O4∶Eu, Dy phosphor by templating method was characterized by XRD and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD results showed that a pure SrAl2O4 phase formed at 900 ℃ by templating method. The SEM morphologies of the obtained phosphors prepared by templating synthesis were uniform and porous multicrystalline with average diameter size of 5 μm. The broad-band UV-excited SrAl2O4∶Eu, Dy phosphor derived from a mosoporous precursor was observed at λmax=515 nm due to the transitions from the 4f65d1 to the 4f7 configurations of Eu2+ ion. The main excitation and emission intensity of the phosphor with this method were stronger than that obtained by solid state reaction method. And the obtained long-lasting phosphor with this method revealed a better afterglow compared to the phosphor prepared through solid state reaction method.展开更多
