Abstract
An easy method to synthesize hollow carbon nanospheres (HCSs) with polystyrene as template and phenol as precursor is reported. The obtained HCSs have very thin shells and big hollow cores. The diffraction peaks of X-ray diffraction patterns located at about 2θ = 22 and 43 are assigned to the (0 0 2) and (1 1 0) graphite plane of HCSs. Transmission electron microscopy shows every state in the synthesis process of HCSs.
