• collaborators synthesized mesoporous carbon nanospheres (PMCSs) derived from a MOF precursor, exhibiting dual photodynamic and photothermal characteristics. Utilizing this framework, concentration and temperature at thrombotic sites were elevated significantly upon local irradiation (808 nm laser), resulting in

• nanocrystals [50], molybdenum trioxide [21], manganese dioxide [51], and vanadium carbide nanoparticles [12]. For instance, the electrocatalytic performance of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) was reported by Zhang et al. [45] who studied a cathode comprising hollow carbon nanospheres. The cathode displayed a

• shuttle effect. Zhang et al. [47] studied iron, copper, and nickel nanoclusters (ca 1.2 nm) loaded onto hollow carbon nanospheres. On the one hand, the chemical coupling between nanocluster and sulfur assists in sulfur immobilization and enhances conductivity and reactivity. On the other hand, the

• mixture along with g-C3N4, sulfur helps to produce carbon nanotubes instead of carbon nanospheres. The reactivity of sulfur with the end caps of nanotubes does not allow the carbon nanotubes to close. These amorphous carbon nanotubes help as a template to intercalate metal fluorides/metal sulfides. As the

Firstly, PAN–PMMA nanoparticles at high concentration and low surfactant content were controllably synthesized by a two-stage azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)-initiated semicontinuous emulsion polymerization. The carbon nanospheres were obtained after the PAN core domain was converted into carbon

• shells, and the surface of the obtained PAN–PMMA nanoparticles became smooth. The thick PMMA shell can inhibit the adhesion between carbon nanospheres caused by cyclization reactions during heat treatment.
