- Chemical vapor deposition (CVD);
- Hollow spheres;
- Mesoporous carbon
Hollow spheres of well-ordered mesoporous carbon (see Figure) may be obtained via a simple chemical vapor deposition route, which utilizes mesoporous silica SBA-15 as a solid template and suitable organic compounds (e.g., styrene) as the carbon source.
