title: Biomineralization-induced self-assembly of porous hollow carbon nanocapsule monoliths and their application in Li-S batteries.
abstract: A carbon capsule monolith possessing ultrasmall hollow nanocores and ultrathin nanoshells with a high surface area and porosity is synthesized by a facile biomineralization-induced self-assembly approach. As a sulfur host in Li-S batteries, it serves as an excellent solvent-restricted, ionic-electronic conductive 'nanoreactor' for sulfur lithiation, enabling superior performance upon cycling.
