Abstract
Inspired by the attractive structures and functions of natural matter (such as cells, organelles and enzymes), chemists are constantly exploring innovative material platforms to mimic natural catalytic systems, particularly liquid-phase hydrogenations, which are of great significance for chemical upgrading and synthesis. Hollow structured nanoreactors (HSNRs), featuring unique nanoarchitectures and advantageous properties, offer new opportunities for achieving excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, stability and sustainability. Notwithstanding the great progress made in HSNRs, there still remain the challenges of precise synthetic chemistry, and mesoscale catalytic kinetic investigation, and smart catalysis. To this extent, we provide an overview of recent developments in the synthetic chemistry of HSNRs, the unique characteristics of these materials and catalytic mechanisms in HSNRs. Finally, a brief outlook, challenges and further opportunities for their synthetic methodologies and catalytic application are discussed. This review might promote the creation of further HSNRs, realize the sustainable production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and contribute to the development of materials science.

Abstract
The large size of K-ion makes the pursuit of stable high-capacity anodes for K-ion batteries (KIBs) a formidable challenge, particularly for high temperature KIBs as the electrode instability becomes more aggravated with temperature climbing. Herein, we demonstrate that a hollow ZnS@C nanocomposite (h-ZnS@C) with a precise shell modulation can resist electrode disintegration to enable stable high-capacity potassium storage at room and high temperature. Based on a model electrode, we identify an interesting structure-function correlation of the h-ZnS@C: with an increase in the shell thickness, the cyclability increases while the rate and capacity decrease, shedding light on the design of high-performance h-ZnS@C anodes via engineering the shell thickness. Typically, the h-ZnS@C anode with a shell thickness of 60 nm can deliver an impressive comprehensive performance at room temperature; the h-ZnS@C with shell thickness increasing to 75 nm can achieve an extraordinary stability (88.6 % capacity retention over 450 cycles) with a high capacity (450 mAh g-1) and a superb rate even at an extreme temperature of 60 °C, which is much superior than those reported anodes. This contribution envisions new perspectives on rational design of functional metal sulfides composite toward high-performance KIBs with insights into the significant structure-function correlation.

Abstract
Multifunctional carbon materials have revealed distinctive features and excellent performance in the field of catalysis. However, the facile fabrication of bifunctional carbon materials with special wettability and catalytic activity remains a grand challenge in Pickering emulsion catalysis. Herein, we reported one-step construction of bifunctional biochar with superamphiphilicity and catalytic activity directly from the thermolysis of sawdust and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate for enhancing the oxidation of benzyl alcohol in Pickering emulsion. Co-doping of B and F enhanced the hydrophilicity of biochar, and the oleophilicity of biochar was kept simultaneously. Conversion became 4 times using bifunctional biochar compared with blank results during the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. More interestingly, the turnover frequency (TOF) value using bifunctional biochar enhanced 61 % than that employing N-doped superamphiphilic carbon without catalytic activity. Catalytic activities of bifunctional biochar could be ascribed to the existence of different chemical bonds containing the element B. This work paves a path toward rational design of bifunctional biochar materials with special wettability and catalytic activity for greatly enhancing the liquid-liquid biphasic reaction efficiencies.

Facile Fabrication of Hollow Nanoporous Carbon Architectures by Controlling MOF Crystalline Inhomogeneity for Ultra-Stable Na-Ion Storage. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202400012.

Abstract
Hollow nanoporous carbon architectures (HNCs) present significant utilitarian value for a wide variety of applications. Facile and efficient preparation of HNCs has long been pursued but still remains challenging. Herein, we for the first time demonstrate that single-component metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) crystals, rather than the widely reported hybrid ones which necessitate tedious operations for preparation, could enable the facile and versatile syntheses of functional HNCs. By controlling the growth kinetics, the MOFs crystals (STU-1) are readily engineered into different shapes with designated styles of crystalline inhomogeneity. A subsequent one-step pyrolysis of these MOFs with intraparticle difference can induce a simultaneous self-hollowing and carbonization process, thereby producing various functional HNCs including yolk-shell polyhedrons, hollow microspheres, mesoporous architectures, and superstructures. Superior to the existing methods, this synthetic strategy relies only on the complex nature of single-component MOFs crystals without involving tedious operations like coating, etching, or ligand exchange, making it convenient, efficient, and easy to scale up. An ultra-stable Na-ion battery anode is demonstrated by the HNCs with extraordinary cyclability (93 % capacity retention over 8000 cycles), highlighting a high level of functionality of the HNCs.

Abstract
Mimicking the structures and functions of cells to create artificial organelles has spurred the development of efficient strategies for production of hollow nanoreactors with biomimetic catalytic functions. However, such structure are challenging to fabricate and are thus rarely reported. We report the design of hollow nanoreactors with hollow multishelled structure (HoMS) and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles. Starting from a molecular-level design strategy, well-defined hollow multishelled structure phenolic resins (HoMS-PR) and carbon (HoMS-C) submicron particles were accurately constructed. HoMS-C serves as an excellent, versatile platform, owing to its tunable properties with tailored functional sites for achieving precise spatial location of metal nanoparticles, internally encapsulated (Pd@HoMS-C) or externally supported (Pd/HoMS-C). Impressively, the combination of the delicate nanoarchitecture and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles endow the pair of nanoreactors with size-shape-selective molecular recognition properties in catalytic semihydrogenation, including high activity and selectivity of Pd@HoMS-C for small aliphatic substrates and Pd/HoMS-C for large aromatic substrates. Theoretical calculations provide insight into the pair of nanoreactors with distinct behaviors due to the differences in energy barrier of substrate adsorption. This work provides guidance on the rational design and accurate construction of hollow nanoreactors with precisely located active sites and a finely modulated microenvironment by mimicking the functions of cells.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been deemed to be a promising energy storage technology in terms of cost-effectiveness and sustainability. However, the electrodes often operate at potentials beyond their thermodynamic equilibrium, thus requiring the formation of interphases for kinetic stabilization. The interfaces of the anode such as typical hard carbons and sodium metals are particularly unstable because of its much lower chemical potential than the electrolyte. This creates more severe challenges for both anode and cathode interfaces when building anode-free cells to achieve higher energy densities. Manipulating the desolvation process through the nanoconfining strategy has been emphasized as an effective strategy to stabilize the interface and has attracted widespread attention. This Outlook provides a comprehensive understanding about the nanopore-based solvation structure regulation strategy and its role in building practical SIBs and anode-free batteries. Finally, guidelines for the design of better electrolytes and suggestions for constructing stable interphases are proposed from the perspective of desolvation or predesolvation.

Abstract
Hollow carbon nanocages (HCNCs) consisting of sp2 carbon shells featured by a hollow interior cavity with defective microchannels (or customized mesopores) across the carbon shells, high specific surface area, and tunable electronic structure, are quilt different from the other nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. These structural and morphological characteristics make HCNCs a new platform for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion. This review focuses on the controllable preparation, structural regulation, and modification of HCNCs, as well as their electrochemical functions and applications as energy storage materials and electrocatalytic conversion materials. The metal single atoms-functionalized structures and electrochemical properties of HCNCs are summarized systematically and deeply. The research challenges and trends are also envisaged for deepening and extending the study and application of this hollow carbon material. The development of multifunctional carbon-based composite nanocages provides a new idea and method for improving the energy density, power density, and volume performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated a strategy to regulate the conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) surface, by the conjugated molecule wires for selective and sensitive determination of dopamine (DA) in the live brain. The MOFs were decorated at the carbon fiber electrode deposited by Au nanoleaves as the upper electric transducer to provide rich electrocatalytic sites for electron transfer of neurochemicals at the electrode surface, leading to greatly enhanced sensitivity for detection of neurochemicals. On the other hand, the conjugated molecular wire, 4-(thiophen-3-ylethynyl)-benzaldehyde (RP1), was synthesized and assembled as an underlying bridge to regulate the electrochemical processes at the MOF-based electrode, specifically decreasing the reaction Gibbs free energy of DA oxidation, thus selectively promoting the heterogeneous electron transfer of DA from the MOF layer to the electrode surface. Owing to the electrocatalytic activity for DA oxidation, the present microsensor exhibited high selectivity for real-time tracking of DA in a good linear relationship in the range of 0.004-0.4 μM with a detection limit of 1 nM. Eventually, this functionalized electrode was successfully applied for in vivo monitoring of DA in mouse brains with Parkinson's disease (PD) model. The results indicated that the levels of DA were obviously decreased in both acute and subacute PD models. Moreover, the level of DA strongly depended on the amount of uric acid (UA), a physiological antioxidant, which rose as the UA amount was lower than 200 mg kg-1 but was downregulated again after treatment by a higher amount of UA.

Abstract
Hollow nanostructures with fascinating properties have inspired numerous interests in broad research fields. Cell-mimicking complex hollow architectures with precise active components distributions are particularly important, while their synthesis remains highly challenging. Herein, a "top-down" chemical surgery strategy is introduced to engrave the 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin (APF) spheres at nanoscale. Undergoing the cleavage of (Ar)CN bonds with ethanol as chemical scissors and subsequent repolymerization process, the Solid APF transform to multilevel hollow architecture with precise nanospatial distribution of organic functional groups (e.g., hydroxymethyl and amine). The transformation is tracked by electron microscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, the category and dosage of alcohol are pivotal for constructing multilevel hollow structures. Moreover, it is demonstrated the evolution of nanostructures accompanied with unique organic microenvironments is able to accurately confine multiple gold (Au) nanoparticles, leading to the formation of pomegranate-like particles. Through selectively depositing palladium (Pd) nanoparticles onto the outer shell, bimetallic Au@APF@Pd catalysts are formed, which exhibit excellent hydrogenation performance with turnover frequency (TOF) value up to 11257 h-1 . This work provides an effective method for precisely manipulating the nanostructure and composition of polymers at nanoscale and sheds light on the design of catalysts with precise spatial active components.

Abstract
The development of highly active carbon-based bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desired, but still full of challenges in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained great attention for various applications due to their attractive features of structural tunability, high surface area and high porosity. Herein, a core-shell structured carbon-based hybrid electrocatalyst (H-NSC@Co/NSC), which contains high density active sites of MOF-derived shell (Co/NSC) and COF-derived hollow core (H-NSC), is successfully fabricated by direct pyrolysis of covalently-connected COF@ZIF-67 hybrid. The core-shell H-NSC@Co/NSC hybrid manifests excellent catalytic properties toward both OER and ORR with a small potential gap (∆E = 0.75 V). The H-NSC@Co/NSC assembled Zn-air battery exhibits a high power-density of 204.3 mW cm-2 and stable rechargeability, outperforming that of Pt/C+RuO2 assembled Zn-air battery. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the electronic structure of the carbon frameworks on the Co/NSC shell can be effectively modulated by the embedded Co nanoparticles (NPs), facilitating the adsorption of oxygen intermediates and leading to enhanced catalytic activity. This work will provide a strategy to design highly-efficient electrocatalysts for application in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass to value-added products play a crucial role in the development of renewable energy resources. However, achieving a temperature-controlled selectivity within one catalytic system while retaining excellent hydrogenation and HDO performance remains a great challenge. Here, nitrogen/oxygen (N/O) co-doped porous carbon nanosphere derived from resin polymer spheres is synthesized as the host matrix to in situ encapsulate highly dispersed Pd nanoparticles (NPs). Through N/O co-doping, the defects on the surface of carbon structure can serve as active sites to promote substrate adsorption. After a facile H2 O2 post-treatment process, the presence of abundant carboxyl groups on the porous carbon nanospheres can act as acidic sites to replace the use of acidic additives in the HDO process. Additionally, the increased surface oxygen-containing groups improve hydrophilicity to disperse catalysts in aqueous solutions. Owing to the unique highly dispersed Pd NPs and abundant surface defects, the Pd@APF-H2 O2 (2.3 nm) catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity and temperature-controlled selectivity for hydrogenation and HDO products of biomass-derived vanillin.

Abstract
Hollow metal oxide microspheres (HMMs) have drawn enormous attention in different research fields. Reliable and scalable synthetic protocols applicable for a large variety of metal oxides are in emergent demand. Here we demonstrated that polymer hydrogel, such as the resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) one, existed as an efficient synthetic platform to build HMMs. Specifically, the RF gel forms stacked RF microspheres enlaced with its aqueous phase, where the following evaporation of the highly dispersed water leads to a gel-assisted precipitation (GAP) of the dissolved metal precursor onto the embedded polymeric solids suited for the creation of HMMs. By taking advantage of the structural features of hydrogel, this synthesis design avoids the delicate control on the usually necessitated coating process and provides a simple and effective synthetic process versatile for functional HMMs, particularly Nb2 O5 as a high-performance electrode material in Li-ion intercalation pseudocapacitor.

Abstract
Hard carbons are actively developed as a promising anode material for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, their sodium storage mechanism is poorly understood, leading to difficulties in design and development of high-performance hard carbon anode materials. In this work, hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) with different shell thickness as a model material to investigate the correlation between the microstructural change and resulting Na+ storage behavior during charge/discharge cycles are designed and synthesized. Ex situ X-ray diffraction and Raman evidences reveal that an interlayer spacing change of the graphitic nanodomains occurs in HCS electrode, leading to a shift of the reversible capacity from the high-potential sloping (HPS) region to the low-potential plateau (LPP) region. This unusual capacity shift suggests a microstructure-dependent Na+ storage reaction on the HCS electrode and can be well explained by "adsorption-intercalation" mechanism for these HCS materials. This work strengthens the understanding of the sodium storage behavior and provides a new perspective for the morphological and structural design of hard carbon anode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Superamphiphilic materials have great potential to enhance the mass transfer between phases in liquid-liquid catalysis due to their special affinities. Constructing superamphiphilic surfaces that possess superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic properties simultaneously has been a tough assignment. So, exploration of simple methods to prepare such materials using renewable and abundant feedstocks is highly desired. Here, we reported an effective strategy to construct superamphiphilic carbon directly from sodium lignosulfonate, which is a renewable resource from paper industry wastes. From the characterization of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for superamphiphilic carbon, we found that element C was responsible for the hydrophobic nature and the existence of O and S endowed the carbon with hydrophilic characteristics. Further, micro/nanohierarchical pores were found beneficial for the superamphiphilicity of carbon. Meantime, in the selective hydrogenation of styrene, phenylacetylene, and cis-stilbene in liquid-liquid systems, conversion became double using superamphiphilic carbon compared with blank results, and the yields were three times more than those in blank experiments. The reasons were that superamphiphilic carbon induced the formation of Pickering emulsions and enriched the reactants around catalysts, as concluded by the characterization of confocal laser scanning microscopy and relating contrastive experiments. This work revealed a different route to obtain superamphiphilic carbon and provided a diverse perspective to promote Pickering emulsion catalysis by the superamphiphilicity of carbon.
