“…There have been enormous interests in the fabrication of new carbon-based nanomaterials with highly curved graphitic structures [7]. Tremendous efforts to tune the shape and size of carbon nanomaterials during the growth process have been put forth in the synthesis of a wide variety of carbon nanomaterials in the form of nanocages [8,9], nano onions [10], nanoflakes [11], nanoplates [12], nanorods [13], nanoballs [14], and nanospheres [1,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Among all these nanostructured materials, carbon nanospheres (CNS) have a number of potential applications in energy storage and conversion [22,23], catalysis [24,25], drug delivery [26], optoelectronics [18], solid lubricants [27], and composite materials [28].…”
