Herein, we rationally design and construct a novel type of sparsely studded noble-metal nanocrystals inside graphene hollow sphere network (abbreviated as noble-metal@G HSN) through an electrostatic-attraction-directed self-assembly approach. The formation of Pt@G and Pd@G hollow sphere networks have been illustrated as examples using SiO2 spheres as templates. Moreover, the electrocatalytic performance of the Pt@G HSN for methanol oxidation reaction has been examined as a proof-of-concept demonstration of the compositional and structural superiorities of noble-metal@G HSN toward electrocatalyst utilization. The as-prepared Pt@G HSN manifests higher catalytic activity and markedly enhanced long-term durability in comparison with commercial Pt/C catalyst.
