“…In the past few years, ZnO, Ni(OH)2, sepiolite, zeolite and silica have been widely used as hard templates [30][31][32][33]. Also, various types of carbon precursors have been developed due to their readily carbonizable properties, such as sucrose, furfuryl alcohol and phenol formaldehyde resin [34,35]. However, hollow carbon spheres with unique structure and textural properties which are potential for achieving good conductivity and high capacitance are still scarce, it is therefore promising to develop facile and cheap routes to prepare this kind of materials.…”
