“…[9,24] Carbonaceous materials have been extensively studied for the encapsulation of nanoscale SiO 2 , with examples such as amorphous coating layers, [13,19,25,26] continuous shells and tubes, [17,23,27,28] and hollow SiO 2 /carbon spheres. [16,23,29] Some metal oxides such as TiO 2 and NiO shells have also been employed to encapsulate SiO 2 particles. [20,30] Carbon nanosheets/plates, [31] interwoven carbon nanofibers/nanotubes, [21,32,33] mesoporous carbon composites, [18,26,28,34,35] graphene sheets/aerogels, [36] reduced graphene oxide matrices, [22,37] and MXene architectures [38] have been engineered to load dispersed nanoscale SiO 2 particles.…”
