“…[11][12][13] Recent examples of such hierarchical materials include spindles, 14 multipods, 15 stars, 16 dendrites 17 and other abundant structures. [18][19][20][21] As a typical example, inorganic hierarchically microspherical structures, consisting of one or two-dimensional arrangement of nanoparticles, possess the unique merits of large specific surface area, high concentration of porosity, rich active sites and large void space. [22][23][24][25][26] To date, these materials, including metals, 27,28 carbides, 29,30 oxides, 31 sulphides, 32,33 and selenides, 34 have been fabricated via a variety of growth techniques.…”
