Great progress has been made in the preparation and application of multi-shelled hollow micro-/nanostructures during the past decade. However, the synthetic methodologies and potential applications of these novel and interesting materials have not been reviewed comprehensively in the literature. In the current review we first describe different synthetic methodologies for multi-shelled hollow micro-/nanostructures as well as their compositional and geometric manipulation and then review their applications in energy conversion and storage, sensors, photocatalysis, and drug delivery. The correlation between the geometric properties of multi-shelled hollow micro-/nanostructures and their specific performance in relevant applications are highlighted. These results demonstrate that the geometry has a direct impact on the properties and potential applications of such materials. Finally, the emerging challenges and future development of multi-shelled hollow micro-/nanostructures are further discussed.

“…[127] Recently, Chen and co-workers prepared multishell microspheres from azithromycin, an amphiphilic pharmaceutical molecule, by using a very simple self-assembly approach. [128] The azithromycin was first dissolved in ethanol to form a homogeneous solution. The solution was slowly added into deionized water under magnetic stirring.…”

In this Review, recent achievements in the multilevel interior‐structured hollow 0D and 1D micro/nanomaterials are presented and categorized. The 0D multilevel interior‐structured micro/nanomaterials are classified into four main interior structural categories that include a macroporous structure, a core‐in‐hollow‐shell structure, a multishell structure, and a multichamber structure. Correspondingly, 1D tubular micro/nanomaterials are of four analogous structures, which are a segmented structure, a wire‐in‐tube structure, a multiwalled structure, and a multichannel structure. Because of the small sizes and complex interior structures, some special synthetic strategies that are different from routine hollowing methods, are proposed to produce these interior structures. Compared with the same‐sized solid or common hollow counterparts, these fantastic multilevel hollow‐structured micro/nanomaterials show a good wealth of outstanding properties that enable them broad applications in catalysis, sensors, Li‐ion batteries, microreactors, biomedicines, and many others.

In this review, some living organisms with multilevel hierarchical micro/nanostructures and related special properties are briefly introduced. The unique properties of organisms are mostly related to their special hierarchical micro/nanostructures. Inspired by nature, many zero-dimensional and one-dimensional micro/nanomaterials with biomimic or bioinspired multilevel micro/nanostructures have been successfully synthesized and prepared in recent years. Compared with traditional solid materials, the synthesis and preparation of these multilevel structured materials is more ingenious. Moreover, these kinds of multilevel micro/nanomaterials show fantastic properties in many fields because of their micro/nanoscale complex interior structures, which may be intended for application in catalysis, Li-ion batteries, biomedicines, sensors, and others.
