Among the various carbon-based electrode materials, porous carbon spheres stand out for their exceptional properties, such as high specific surface area (SSA), high percussion density, and distinctive surface chemistry, which are conducive to uniform surface modification and acceleration of electrolyte diffusion, thereby enhancing the energy density of battery. Hollow carbon spheres, with their unique structure, are drawing increasing attention for their potential applications in energy storage devices. In this work, hollow hierarchical porous carbon spheres (HPCS) were synthesized by one-pot method using alkali lignin extracted from corn straw as carbon precursor, CTAB as template agent, Zn as crosslinking agent and KHCO as activator. HPCS-900 had a high SSA of 1959 m g and pore volume of 1.21 cm g, and a specific capacitance of 293 F g (0.2 A g) with a capacitance retention of 70.8 % (40 A g) as electrode material. When used in supercapacitor (SC), HPCS-900 exhibited an energy density of 17.5 Wh kg at 134.9 W kg and a cyclic stability of 86.7 % after 10,000 cycles.

Developing suitable carbon supports and efficient Pt-based nanoparticles for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for accelerating the commercialization of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, indene-derived hollow mesoporous carbon spheres are synthesized for the first time using space-confined polymerization and subsequent annealing. The incorporation of Gd-doped PtCo nanoparticles into the hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (Gd-PtCo@HMS) resulted in catalysts with an impressive mass activity (MA) of 1.

Monodisperse carbon materials have attracted increasing attention in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, and energy storage. However, the preparation of monodisperse microstructure-controlled carbon spheres still faces tremendous challenges due to the complexity of involved polymerization/carbonization processes and the difficulty of controlling high monodispersity and regulating microstructures, which are vital for ensuring a uniform packing, determining consistent physical and chemical properties and targeting applications. Here, we report an approach to address these issues by co-doping nickel and nitrogen into an aminophenol-formaldehyde resin (APFR) polymer framework.
