Abstract: | A novel method for the production of homogeneous samples of hollow carbon nanospheres is reported from cellulose, an inexpensive and renewable precursor. The nanospheres are of diameter 50 nm, graphitic wall thickness 5-10 nm, and can easily be produced in several hundred milligram batches. The nanospheres are derived from the laser pyrolysis of a nickel chloride templated cellulose char via open Ni-core shells. |
