Abstract
Functional mesoporous carbon nanomaterials with large pores and small particle sizes have broad accessibility, but remain challenging to achieve. This study proposed a dual-template synergistic assembly strategy to facilely synthesize extra-small nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres with large pores in a low-cost manner. Directed by the synergistic effect of the combination of surfactants, sodium oleate (anionic surfactant) and triblock copolymer-P123 (nonionic surfactant) were selected as templates to construct nanomicelles (nanoemulsions), which were co-assembled with melamine-based oligomers to form composite nanomicelles, thus obtaining nitrogen-doped mesoporous polymer nanospheres (NMePS) and then nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres (NMeCS). Based on Schiff base chemistry, the melamine-based oligomers with self-assembly capability were synthesized as precursors, which is different from the conventional synthetic route of melamine-formaldehyde resin. The key parameters involved in the route were investigated comprehensively and correlated with the characterization results. Furthermore, the 50 nm-scale particle size and the large mesoporous size of 5.5 nm of NMeCS can facilitate effective mass transport, coupled with their high nitrogen content (15.7 wt%), contributing to their excellent performance in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversions provide promising routes to realize global carbon neutrality, and the development of corresponding advanced catalysts is important but challenging. Hollow-structured carbon (HSC) materials with striking features, including unique cavity structure, good permeability, large surface area, and readily functionalizable surface, are flexible platforms for designing high-performance catalysts. In this review, the topics range from the accurate design of HSC materials to specific electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversion applications, aiming to address the drawbacks of conventional catalysts, such as sluggish reaction kinetics, inadequate selectivity, and poor stability. Firstly, the synthetic methods of HSC, including the hard template route, soft template approach, and self-template strategy are summarized, with an evaluation of their characteristics and applicability. Subsequently, the functionalization strategies (nonmetal doping, metal single-atom anchoring, and metal nanoparticle modification) for HSC are comprehensively discussed. Lastly, the recent achievements of intriguing HSC-based materials in electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversion applications are presented, with a particular focus on revealing the relationship between catalyst structure and activity. We anticipate that the review can provide some ideas for designing highly active and durable catalytic systems for CO2 valorization and beyond.

Abstract
Hydrogen as an important clean energy source with a high energy density has attracted extensive attention in fuel cell vehicles and industrial production. However, considering its flammable and explosive property, gas sensors are desperately desired to efficiently monitor H2 concentration in practical applications. Herein, a facile polymerization-induced aggregation strategy was proposed to synthesize uniform Si-doped mesoporous WO3 (Si-mWO3) microspheres with tunable sizes. The polymerization of the melamine-formaldehyde resin prepolymer (MF prepolymer) in the presence of silicotungstic acid hydrate (abbreviated as H4SiW) leads to uniform MF/H4SiW hybrid microspheres, which can be converted into Si-mWO3 microspheres through a simple thermal decomposition treatment process. In addition, benefiting from the pore confinement effect, monodispersed Pd-decorated Si-mWO3 microspheres (Pd/Si-mWO3) were subsequently synthesized and applied as sensitive materials for the sensing and detection of hydrogen. Owing to the oxygen spillover effect of Pd nanoparticles, Pd/Si-mWO3 enables adsorption of more oxygen anions than pure mWO3. These Pd nanoparticles dispersed on the surface of Si-mWO3 accelerated the dissociation of hydrogen and promoted charge transfer between Pd nanoparticles and WO3 crystal particles, which enhanced the sensing sensitivity toward H2. As a result, the gas sensor based on Pd/Si-mWO3 microspheres exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity (Rair/Rgas = 33.5) to 50 ppm H2 at a relatively low operating temperature (210 °C), which was 30 times higher than that of the pure Si-mWO3 sensor. To develop intelligent sensors, a portable sensor module based on Pd/Si-mWO3 in combination with wireless Bluetooth connection was designed, which achieved real-time monitoring of H2 concentration, opening up the possibility for use as intelligent H2 sensors.

Abstract
Herein, cherry flower waste-derived activated carbon (CFAC) with self-doped nitrogen is synthesized as a viable energy storage material for green and sustainable energy solutions. The activated carbon derived in this way is examined as an electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC)-type electrode material and sodium-ion battery (NIB) electrode material, and commendable performance is demonstrated for both of these energy storage applications. The specific surface area (SSA) and nitrogen content are observed to play a very delicate role in determining the charge storage ability of the CFAC, and the performance is optimized only by carefully balancing both of these properties. The optimized CFAC electrode supplied an excellent performance with a specific capacitance of 333.8 F g-1 and capacity is maintained to more than 96% even after 38,000 charge-discharge cycles as an EDLC-type supercapacitor electrode material. Likewise, the CFAC/NIB also yielded remarkable performance with an average specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 and capacity retention of more than 84% after 200 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, an electrokinetic study was performed for both supercapacitor and NIB applications to identify the contribution from surface and diffusion type charge storage phenomena, consequently highlighting the role of the SSA and nitrogen content in the CFAC matrix.

Abstract
Melamine-resin microspheres were synthesized at a pH of 4.0 for 20 min and used as silver nanoparticle (AgNP) carriers for surface enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) detection. An acetic acid–treatment reaction was introduced into the fabrication of the final substrate. The SERRS performance of the substrate was effectively optimized by regulating excess formaldehyde and experimental parameters, such as acidity, number of treatments and reaction temperature in the acid-treatment reaction. Based on the SERRS detection, it was declared that a trace amount of oligomers with a certain degree of polymerization is necessary for the construction of SERRS hotspots. In addition, it is important to remove excess oligomers with reference to the synthetic reaction of the polymer materials, given the special role of oligomers and the wide application of polymer materials in SERRS detection.

Abstract
Aromatics from selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass-derived bio-oil are an ideal feedstock for replacing industrial fossil products. In this study, biochar-modified Hβ/Ni-V catalysts were prepared and tested in the atmospheric HDO of guaiacol and bio-oil to produce aromatics. Compared with unmodified Hβ/Ni-V, higher HDO activity was achieved in catalysts with all kinds of biochar modifications. Especially, the pine nut shell biochar (PB)-modified PB-Hβ-8/Ni-V showed the highest selectivity to aromatics (69.17%), mainly including benzene and toluene. Besides, under the conditions of 380 °C and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 0.5 h-1, the cleavage of CAr-OH (CAr means the carbon in the benzene ring) was promoted to form more aromatics. Moreover, great recyclability (58.77% aromatics for the reactivated run-3 test) and efficient HDO of bio-oil (44.9% aromatic yield) were also achieved. Based on the characterization results, the enhanced aromatic selectivity of PB-Hβ-8/Ni-V was attributed to the synergetic effect between PB and Hβ/Ni-V. In detail, a stable surface migrated-carbon layer was formed on Hβ/Ni-V via the metal catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process of the pyrolysis PB volatiles. Simultaneously, a carbothermal reduction driven by the migrated-carbon took place to decorate the surface metals, obtaining more Ni0 and V3+ active sites. With this synergism, increased Ni0 sites promoted H2 adsorption and dissociation, which improved the hydrogenation activity. Furthermore, the higher affinity of the reactant and increased oxygen vacancies both contributed to enhancing the selective surface adsorption of oxygenous groups and the cleavage of the CAr-OH bond, thus improving the deoxygenation activity. Therefore, the HDO activity was improved to form more target aromatics over biochar-modified catalysts. This work highlighted a potential avenue to develop economic and environmental catalysts for the upgrading of bio-oil.

Abstract
An aqueous emulsion polymerization self-assembly approach is demonstrated for the first time to synthesize ultrahigh nitrogen containing mesoporous polymer nanospheres, using melamine-formaldehyde resin oligomers as precursors. In the synthesis, change from alkaline to acidic conditions is critical for the formation of monodisperse mesostructured polymer nanospheres. Owing to unique structure of triazine stabilized in the covalent polymeric networks during the pyrolysis process, the derived mesoporous carbon nanospheres possess an ultrahigh nitrogen content (up to 15.6 wt%) even after pyrolysis at 800 °C, which is the highest nitrogen content among mesoporous carbon nanospheres. Furthermore, these monodisperse mesoporous carbon nanospheres possess a high surface area (≈883 m2 g-1 ) and large pore size (≈8.1 nm). As an anode for sodium-ion batteries, the ultrahigh nitrogen-containing mesoporous carbon nanospheres exhibit superior rate capability (117 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 3 A g-1 ) and high reversible capacity (373 mAh g-1 at 0.06 A g-1 ), indicating a promising material for energy storage.

Abstract
To attain superior energy density concurrently with high power density, high-performance supercapacitors have been developed. Herein an innovative strategy has been adopted to fabricate unique binder-free electrodes composed of a unique porous structure of binary metal carbonate hydroxide nanomace-decorated hydrothermal porous carbon spheres (PCSs). Hierarchical nickel-cobalt carbonate hydroxide (NiCOCH) nanomaces, directly grown on PCSs, are used as positive electrodes for supercapacitors fabrication. Furthermore, Fe2O3@PCS composites, having benefits of highly reversible redox reaction in the negative potential window and highly porous structure, are employed as the negative electrode in the fabrication of the asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). The assembled NiCoCH@PCS// Fe2O3@PCS asymmetric devices with a wide electrochemical potential window not only have the merit of high energy and power densities but also receive benefits from remarkable cycle stability. These encouraging outcomes that are mutually beneficial, make these fabricated ASCs significantly ideal for high-performance electronics.

Abstract
Energy storage and conversion play a crucial role in modern energy systems, and the exploration of advanced electrode materials is vital but challenging. Carbon-based nanocages consisting of sp2 carbon shells feature a hollow interior cavity with sub-nanometer microchannels across the shells, high specific surface area with a defective outer surface, and tunable electronic structure, much different from the intensively studied nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. These structural and morphological characteristics make carbon-based nanocages a new platform for advanced energy storage and conversion. Up-to-date synthetic strategies of carbon-based nanocages, the utilization of their unique porous structure and morphology for the construction of composites with foreign active species, and their significant applications to the advanced energy storage and conversion are reviewed. Structure-performance correlations are discussed in depth to highlight the contribution of carbon-based nanocages. The research challenges and trends are also envisaged for deepening and extending the study and application of this multifunctional material.

Abstract
Due to the dilemma of rapid consumption of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, development of clean, efficient and renewable energy conversion and storage technology has become an urgent need. Supercapacitors and hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells as typical representatives have become the focus of scientific research, in which the electrode materials are of much importance to their improved activity. In this work, a series of porous carbons (PCs) with high specific surface areas were prepared using natural coals as carbon precursors coupled with KOH activation. The effects of the mass ratio of coal and KOH as well as different activation temperatures on the microstructures of the PCs and electrochemical properties were studied in detail. The optimal PC4 (KOH: coal = 4) possessed a high specific surface area (SSA) of 2092 m2 g-1 and a well-developed microporous structure. As the electrocatalyst, it exhibited a positive onset potential of 0.88 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and half-wave potential of 0.78 V (vs. RHE) towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an alkaline solution. PC4 also showed the highest specific capacitance of 128 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 among all the samples in this work. The relatively good performance of PC4 resulted from its well-developed microporous structure and large SSA, enabling fast mass transfer of electrolytes.

Abstract
The unique micro/mesoporous spherical nanostructure composed of non-noble metal nanoparticles encapsulated within a heteroatom-doped carbon matrix provides great advantages for constructing advanced non-precious oxygen reduction (ORR) electrocatalysts. Herein, a promising oxygen electrocatalyst comprising iron sulfide (Fe1−xS) nanoparticles embedded into a nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon sphere (Fe1−xS/NS-CS) is successfully explored through a simple and fast polymerization between methylolmelamines (MMA) and ammonium ferric citrate (AFC) as well as a high-temperature vulcanization process. Moreover, the proposed polymerization reaction can be finished completely within a very short time, which is useful for large-scale manufacturing. Impressively, the developed Fe1−xS/NS-MCS catalyst demonstrates outstanding ORR catalytic activity in terms of a more positive onset and half-wave potential as well, as much a better methanol tolerance and stability, in comparison with that of Pt/C benchmarked catalyst. The remarkable ORR electrocatalytic properties are strongly associated with the favorable characteristic spherical N, the S co-doped porous graphitic carbon nanoskeleton incorporated with the Fe1−xS nanoparticle-encapsulation structure.

Abstract
In this work, novel heteroatom-doped hollow carbon spheres (HHCSs) were prepared via the carbonization of polyaniline hollow spheres (PHSs), which were synthesized by one-pot polymerization. It was found that the carbonized PHSs at 700 °C exhibit high specific capacitance of 241 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 and excellent rate capability. The excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to the heteroatom-doping and hollow carbon nanostructure of the HHCSs electrodes. Heteroatom groups in the HHCSs not only improve the wettability of the carbon surface, but also enhance the capacitance by addition of a pseudocapacitive redox process. Their unique structure provides a large specific surface area along with reduced diffusion lengths for both mass and charge transport.

Abstract
Carbon is widely studied as an electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode material due to its high specific surface area and good electronic conductivity. However, the low capacitance and energy density limit its further commercial applications. Herein, we report a facile and novel synthesis of dilute CoNi alloy nanoparticles embedded into ultramicroporous carbon (CoNi/UMCs) via a template-assisted strategy using SBA-15 as a template. The CoNi alloy serves as not only the electron collector to decrease the conductivity during tests, but also creates CoNi oxide/oxhydroxide on the alloy surface in an alkali solution, promoting redox reactions in pseudocapacitors, enhancing the performance of supercapacitors. Interestingly, the final morphology of the composite is not transferred from SBA-15 and the ultramicropores absolutely come from sucrose itself. However, the presence of SBA-15 can definitely enlarge the surface area of the CoNi/UMCs. After carefully tailoring the loading of CoNi, we find that 0.95% CoNi/UMCs exhibit a high surface area of 613 m2 g-1 with regular ultramicropores of 0.57 nm. Due to the synergistic effect of porous carbon and CoNi alloy, the unique 0.95% CoNi/UMCs exhibit a high specific capacitance of up to 268 F g-1 at 0.25 A g-1 in 6 M KOH aqueous solution and a high capacitance retention ratio of 97.8% after 10 000 cycles.

Abstract
Porous carbon materials have attracted considerable attention for their various applications such as catalyst supports for fuel cells. However, few studies focus on the effect of carbon pore structure on different alcohols electrooxidation. In this work, platinum@nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres with tailored mesopores (Pt@NMCs) are fabricated and exhibit outstanding electrocatalytic activity and durability for alcohol oxidation because of the structural advantages such as adjustable mesopores, N-doped carbon, and embedded catalysts. More importantly, the pore size of NMCs (or called the size of the windows connecting the neighboring spherical cavities), which can be tuned simply by adjusting the diameter of colloidal silica nanospheres, has a great effect on the electrocatalytic activity and selectivity of Pt catalysts toward oxidation of alcohols (methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol). Accordingly, we can adopt optimal Pt@NMCs with appropriate pore size based on different requirements and applications.

Abstract
Sub-50 nm iron-nitrogen-doped hollow carbon sphere-encapsulated iron carbide nanoparticles (Fe3C-Fe,N/C) are synthesized by using a triblock copolymer of poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine-b-ethylene oxide) as a soft template. Their typical features, including a large surface area (879.5 m2 g-1), small hollow size (≈16 nm), and nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon shell, and encapsulated Fe3C nanoparticles generate a highly active oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance. Fe3C-Fe,N/C hollow spheres exhibit an ORR performance comparable to that of commercially available 20 wt% Pt/C in alkaline electrolyte, with a similar half-wave potential, an electron transfer number close to 4, and lower H2O2 yield of less than 5%. It also shows noticeable ORR catalytic activity under acidic conditions, with a high half-wave potential of 0.714 V, which is only 59 mV lower than that of 20 wt% Pt/C. Moreover, Fe3C-Fe,N/C has remarkable long-term durability and tolerance to methanol poisoning, exceeding Pt/C regardless of the electrolyte.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) MnO2/Carbon Sphere (MnO2/CS) composite was synthesized from zero-dimensional carbon spheres and one-dimensional α-MnO2 using hydrothermal method. The hierarchical MnO2/CS composite was applied for the catalytic oxidation and adsorption of elemental mercury (Hg0) from coal-fired flue gas. The characterization results indicated that this composite exhibits a 3D urchin morphology. Carbon spheres act as the core and α-MnO2 nano-rods grew on the surface of carbon spheres. This 3D hierarchical structure benefits the enlargement of surface areas and pore volumes. Hg0 removal experimental results indicated that the MnO2/CS composite has an outstanding Hg0 removal performance due to the higher catalytic oxidation and adsorption performance. MnO2/CS composite had higher than 99% Hg0 removal efficiency even after 600min reaction. In addition, the nano-sized MnO2/CS composite exhibited better SO2 resistance than pure α-MnO2. Moreover, the Hg-TPD results indicated that the adsorbed mercury can release from the surface of MnO2/CS using a thermal decomposition method.

Abstract
Monodisperse, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres of submicron size were synthesized using hexamethoxymethylmelamine as both a carbon and nitrogen source in a short (1 h) microwave-assisted synthesis. After carbonization at 550 °C, porous carbon spheres with a remarkably high nitrogen content of 37.1% were obtained, which consisting mainly of highly basic pyridinic moieties. The synthesized hollow spheres exhibited high selectivity for carbon dioxide (CO2) over nitrogen and oxygen gases, with a capture capacity up to 1.56 mmol CO2 g-1. The low adsorption enthalpy of the synthesized hollow carbon spheres permits good adsorbent regeneration. Evaluation of the feasibility of scaling up shows their potential for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Influence of the excess monomer within the synthetic reaction solution of melamine resin microspheres (MFMSs) on the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancement from Rhodamine 6G (R6G) was investigated, where the R6G was adsorbed on the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that were loaded on the MFMSs. Surface characteristics of the MFMSs were modified by the excess monomer (i.e., the excessive melamine or formaldehyde) through its terminal overreaction, which can be simply controlled by some of the synthetic reaction conditions, thus further allowing us to optimize the assembly of the loaded AgNPs for the SERS detection. These SERS substrates incorporating the optimized MFMSs with the excess formaldehyde can also be used for tracing analyses of more environmental and food contaminants.

Abstract
A series of porous carbon spheres with precisely adjustable mesopores (4-16 nm), high specific surface area (SSA, ∼2000 m2 g-1), and submicrometer particle size (∼300 nm) was synthesized through a facile coassembly of diblock polymer micelles with a nontoxic dopamine source and a common postactivation process. The mesopore size can be controlled by the diblock polymer, polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) templates, and has an almost linear dependence on the square root of the degree of polymerization of the PS blocks. These advantageous structural properties make the product a promising electrode material for electrochemical capacitors. The electrochemical capacitive performance was studied carefully by using symmetrical cells in a typical organic electrolyte of 1 M tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate/acetonitrile (TEA BF4/AN) or in an ionic liquid electrolyte of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF4), displaying a high specific capacitance of 111 and 170 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, respectively. The impacts of pore size distribution on the capacitance performance were thoroughly investigated. It was revealed that large mesopores and a relatively low ratio of micropores are ideal for realizing high SSA-normalized capacitance. These results provide us with a simple and reliable way to screen future porous carbon materials for electrochemical capacitors and encourage researchers to design porous carbon with high specific surface area, large mesopores, and a moderate proportion of micropores.
