    The controllable synthesis of hollow nanomaterials has broad application prospects in many fields, such as catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and biomedicine. This account aims to reveal the key effects of etching on the hollowing process of nanostructures. We discuss the precise manipulation of the hollowing process by enhancing the relative stability of the nanoparticle surface in the etchant, mainly focusing on three types of etching strategies, including the hard templating method, redox-assisted etching method, and surface-passivated etching method. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future development of etching-based strategies for the controllable synthesis of hollow nanostructures.

    Recently, the unique and novel structure of hollow materials has become a hot spot in the research of synthetic chemistry and material chemistry, especially its high surface-volume-ratio, low density and large cavities, and it is also an excellent choice of drug delivery carrier. Through the precise selection and modification of hollow materials, the hollow materials can be endowed with unique stimulus response behavior, thus realizing the intelligent design of hollow materials and the controlled release of drugs. There are two strategies for constructing smart hollow carriers: (1) utilizing hollow materials as carriers that can respond to physical or chemical stimuli; (2) modifying functional molecules on the surface of hollow carriers to achieve specific “on-off” switch under stimulation. Its core lies in the precise regulation of molecular composition and configuration. From this perspective, we detail the construction connotation of gatekeepers for controlled drug release. This review begins with an introduction to the development history of hollow carriers, followed by a brief discussion on the rules of molecules released from hollow structures. The use of hollow structures for the construction of intelligent responsive drug carriers is then showcased, including roles of the hollow structure, different gating strategies, controlled release mechanisms, and their potential progress in application. This paper concludes with some perspectives on future directions for hollow structured carriers.

    Noble-metal nanoframes connected by ultrathin frames have attracted extensive attention in the field of heterogeneous catalysis due to their advantages of low loading capacity and high activity. The unique 3D open accessibility structure of the nanoframes can not only expose more active sites at the edges and vertices, improving the utilization rate of noble metal active sites, but also limit the reaction substrates to the nanoscale, increasing the chance of substrate molecules colliding. At present, researchers have proposed a variety of synthesis methods for noble-metal nanoframes, including crystal etching method, sacrificial template method, self-assembly method and so on. Their applications in catalysis and energy storage have also been explored. In this review, we summarized the synthesis strategies of noble metal nanoframes and their applications in the field of electrocatalysis in recent years, and put forward the prospect of its future development direction and challenges.

    Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much attention due to their high theoretical energy density, which are considered as one of the most promising class of new secondary batteries. In view of the sulfur cathode, there are problems such as the insulation properties of sulfur and lithium sulfide, the diffusion of soluble polysulfides, the volume expansion of sulfur in the cycle process, and the slow dynamics of the redox process, which seriously restricts the activity and cycle stability of the lithium-sulfur battery. Yolk-shell nanoreactors, with easy to regulate “yolk”, “shell”, and “void”, can alleviate the electrode volume in the process of charge and discharge change, provide fast ion/electron transport channel, strengthen polysulfide adsorption and improve catalytic conversion reaction, etc., thus significantly improve the electrode stability, activity and cycle performance, conducive to promoting the commercialization process in lithium sulfur battery. Thus, we summarize the design and regulation strategy of yolk-shell nanoreactors, including single-yolk-single-shell, single-yolk-multi-shell, multi-yolk-single-shell and multi-yolk-multi-shell. Furthermore, combined with the working characteristics and current application problems of lithium-sulfur battery, the application prospect and future development are also discussed.

    Water splitting, metal-air batteries and fuel cells are energy conversion technologies that are critical to solving future energy crises and environmental problems. The oxygen reduction reaction(ORR), oxygen release reaction(OER) and hydrogen release reaction(HER), as the core reactions, have the problem of slow kinetic speed, so it is of great significance to develop efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts. Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) have attracted more and more attention in different applications due to their highly tunable compositions and porous crystal structures. And hollow MOFs have the advantages of highly adjustable composition and structure of MOFs, as well as the advantages of hollow structure nanomaterials, such as faster transmission quality, more abundant porosity, rich active components, more exposed active sites, and better compatibility with harsh conditions, etc., and show great potential applications in the field of electricity catalysis.

    Lithium-rich cathode materials are regarded as promising cathode candidates for next-generation lithium-ion battery, due to their high theoretical energy density. However, the rapid capacity and voltage decay during cycling hinders their practical commercial application. In this review, the research progress of improving the lithium storage performance of lithium-rich cathode materials through structure design and surface manipulation was summarized in detail. Firstly, the working mechanism of charge and discharge of lithium-rich cathode materials as well as the reasons for their specific capacity and voltage decay were introduced. Subsequently, we discussed the recent progress in improving the performance of lithium-rich cathode materials through novel structural design and surface manipulation strategies. By constructing novel structure such as yolk-shell and hollow multishelled structure, and by controlling the particle size, exposing beneficial surface, surface spinelization, surface coating, surface doping, etc., the surficial oxygen loss and crystal form transformation of the lithium-rich cathode materials could be effectively inhibited, and the geometric structure could be stabilized. As a result, the decay of voltage and specific capacity could be suppressed, and the cycle life and Coulomb efficiency of the battery could be improved. Finally, the remained challenges of improving the electrochemical performance of lithium-rich cathode materials are discussed and the future development directions are prospected.

    It is imperative to develop low-cost and high-performance catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR). Although iron phthalocyanine(FePc) has been proved as an efficient catalyst for ORR decades ago, it cannot replace commercial Pt/C due to its poor electronic conductivity and unsatisfied stability. Considering the chemical stability, high electronic conductivity, and intrinsic catalytic activity of nitrogen-doped carbons, herein, FePc coated nitrogen-doped hollow carbon(FePc-NHC) has been fabricated by carbonization of polystyrene@polydopamine spherical precursors, followed by the loading of FePc. A series of hollow spherical FePc-NHCS samples was prepared by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature and loading amount of FePc. Benefiting from the hierarchical porous structure, high specific surface area, proper nitrogen doping, and FePc loading, the optimized FePc-NHCS displayed an excellent catalytic activity for ORR in alkaline electrolyte, with a remarkable long-term stability and a high half-wave potential of 0.862 V(vs. RHE), outperforming Pt/C(0.848 V). This work proved that hybridization is an effective pathway to strength the positive properties of each component. Also, structural and compositional modification is efficient to optimize the ORR performance of a catalyst.

    Binary transition metal oxides have attracted significant attention as high-performance lithium ion battery electrode materials, due to their excellent electrochemical activities. However, the poor cycling stability of the material limits its practical application. In this study, we synthesized CoFe2O4 hollow multishelled structure(HoMS) material by sequential templating approach, and characterized its morphology and structure. In addition, the relationship between shell structure and battery performance is well studied. It is demonstrated that double-shelled core CoFe2O4 HoMS has the highest discharge capacity(1354.4 mA·h/g), excellent rate performance and cycle stability. The outstanding electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to its unique structural advantages and optimal cavity volume occupancy, which enables it to maintain good structure stability and beneficial electrochemical properties during the repeated cycling.

    Hollow nickel ferrite(NiFe2O4) materials with single-shelled and double-shelled structures were synthesized by a facile sequential templating approach(STA) to obtain the lightweight and high-performance electromagne-tic wave absorbent. The morphology of NiFe2O4 was controlled by changing the slurry constituents and process parameters. Polydopamine(PDA) and carbon were designed and coated on the surface of NiFe2O4 through a simple in⁃situ polymerization and carbonization treatment, forming the composites with hollow multishelled structure(HoMS). The electromagnetic parameters of NiFe2O4/C composites with different morphologies were measured by a network analyzer, and their reflection loss values were calculated by transmission line theory. And the effect of composites’ structures on the performance of electromagnetic absorbing were discussed in detail. The results show that the thin carbon coating significantly improves not only the electromagnetic properties but also the impedance matching, and thus the highly effective reflection loss. The double-shelled NiFe2O4/C HoMS composites displayed an excellent microwave absorbing performance. A minimum reflection loss(RLmin) of ‒32.35 dB was obtained at 8.44 GHz with absorber thickness of 3.5 mm, along with an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.68 GHz at a 2.0 mm thickness. These results can be attributed to the designable HoMS, which increases the probability of the multiple reflections/scattering and realizes more absorption of microwave besides the interfacial polarization between nanoparticles on the shells.

    Hollow mesoporous structures have great potential in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, biomedicine, etc., due to their abundant inner void space and porous permeable shells. However, there is still a lack of efficient, simple and green synthesis methods. Herein, sodium citrate nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability were used as templates for the direct growth of mesoporous silica shells through the interfacial co-assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) micelles and hydrolyzed oligomer of tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS). The hollow mesoporous structures were obtained simply after removal of the CTAB micelles and colloidal sodium citrate nanoparticles by ethanol and water washing. Further studies have shown that electrostatic interactions between negatively charged colloidal sodium citrate nanoparticles and CTAB micelles were key for the polymerization assembly of silicon oxide oligomer on the nanoparticle surface. More importantly, the morphology and shell thickness of hollow mesoporous structures could be accurately adjusted through the control of reaction time. Moreover, the hollow mesoporous structures could improve the mass transfer significantly, which can act as an ideal support for metal catalysts. As a proof of concept, the Au nanoparticles loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres showed excellent catalytic activity for reduction of 4-nitrophenol. This work provided a new insight into the green and simple synthesis of hollow mesoporous materials.

    A simple adsorption method has been developed to prepare highly efficient electrocatalysts(Ni x Fe1‒x /HC) for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) oxidation using mesoporous hollow carbon spheres(HC) as the carrier. X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and other characterizations were applied to characterize the phases, structural morphologies and electronic structures of the obtained Ni x Fe1‒x /HC catalysts. Linear sweep voltammetry, chronopotentiometry were used to evaluated the electrocatalytic activities of HMF oxidation of Ni x Fe1‒x /HC. The results show that the catalytic activity of Ni x Fe1‒x /HC catalysts increases first and then decreases with the increase of introduction amount of Fe. Among them, Ni0.7Fe0.3/HC show the best catalytic activity. The conversion of HMF is as high as 100%, the selectivity of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) is 90.5%, and the Faradaic efficiency is 90.2%. Even after 10 cycles, the catalytic activity of Ni0.7Fe0.3/HC was only slightly reduced, exhibiting excellent catalytic stability.
