Abstract
Novel nitrogen-containing hollow carbon nanospheres were facilely prepared by direct pyrolysis of self-assembled poly(aniline- co-pyrrole) hollow microspheres. The uniform copolymer hollow microspheres with average outer diameter and shell of 746 nm and 169 nm, respectively, were formed in ammonia solution via a one-step unstirred polymerization. And their hollow carbon nanospheres were prepared by direct pyrolysis of the copolymer spheres. It was found that pyrolysis products of the copolymer spheres were made up of hollow carbon nanospheres (235 nm in average outer diameter) with nitrogen content of 7.18 wt% at the pyrolysis temperature of 1000 °C, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and total pore volume of the obtained hollow carbon nanospheres were up to 610 m 2 g −1 and 0.312 cm 3 g −1, respectively.
