ABSTRACT: Ultrathin, uniform and monodisperse hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (HMCNs) with a thickness of ∼3.8 nm have been synthesized. The obtained HMCNs have a high specific surface area (568 m2 g−1), large pore volume (1.63 cm3 g−1), and highly accessible mesopores (∼9.1 nm). Notably, we realized precise control of the shell thickness in the range of ultrathin size (
