Abstract:

The increasing energy demand makes it necessary to develop novel multifunctional materials to meet the requirements of energy storage and conversion. Among various functional materials, intricate hollow structured materials have received extensive attention due to their unique structure and physicochemical properties. In this review, the synthesis strategies and energy applications of intricate hollow structured materials are summarized. The synthesis strategies are mainly divided into five categories: hard templating, soft templating, self-templating, sequential templating and selective etching methods. The applications of intricate hollow structures include lithium-/sodium-/potassium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and dye-sensitized solar cells. Finally, the existing problems and future research directions for intricate hollow structures are discussed.

Key words: Intricate hollow structure, Template, Energy storage, Energy conversion
