中空微/纳米结构材料现在在太阳能电池、燃料电池、锂离子电池和超级电容器等能量转换和存储技术的前沿创新中发挥着重要作用。在全球能源需求不断增长的时代，这些材料在解决日益增长的环境问题方面显示出巨大的潜力。从这个角度来看，我们表明，复杂的多壳微米/纳米材料在许多应用中显示出显着的材料优势，传统的简单的中空结构。我们还总结了用于创建多壳中空结构的大量合成策略，并讨论了这些新材料在发电和存储方面的可能应用。最后，进一步讨论了多壳空心结构面临的挑战和未来的发展。
Hollow micro-/nano-structured materials are now playing an important role in cutting edge innovations for energy conversion and storage technologies such as solar cells, fuel cells, lithium ion batteries and super capacitors. These materials show great promise in addressing growing environmental concerns for cleaner power sources at a time of increasing global demand for energy. In this perspective, we show that complex multi-shelled micro-/nano-materials show significant material advantages in many applications over conventional simple hollow structures. We also summarize the vast array of synthetic strategies used to create multi-shelled hollow structures, and discuss the possible application of these novel materials for power generation and storage. Finally, the emergent challenges and future developments of multi-shelled hollow structures are further discussed.
