Mesoporous silica is a versatile material for energy, environmental, and medical applications. Here, the first time, we report flame aerosol synthesis method class of mesoporous with hollow structure specific surface area exceeding 1000 m 2 /g. We show its superior performance in water purification, drug carrier, thermal insulation. Moreover, propose general route to produce nanoshell supported...

The construction of hollow nanostructure by compositing with carbonaceous materials is generally considered an effective strategy to mitigate the drastic volume expansion transition metal sulfides (TMSs) high theoretical specific capacity in process lithium storage. However, designing well-controlled architectures extended lithiation cyclic stability, and ease electroactive into reserved spaces...
