A general "surface-locking" approach toward fast assembly and processing of large-sized, ordered, mesoporous carbon microspheres.
Drying to meet you: Using microfluidic jet spray drying technology in conjunction with the evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy gives fast assembly (2 s) of mesoporous carbon microspheres. The key feature of the drying is the formation of a rigid silica crust which locks the particle size and shape.
