It is easy to imagine that such uniform nanospheres can be used in catalysis, drug delivery, building complex structures, nanocasting, and electrochemistry.
In the following, we demonstrate one such application.
Nanocatalysts consisting of Pd nanoparticles dispersed in the carbon nanospheres were prepared by complexing Pd2+ (H2PdCl4 aqueous solution) into PBFS-2, followed by thermal treatment at 500 C.
