We report engineered hollow core–shell interlinked carbon spheres that consist of a mesoporous shell, a hollow void, and an anchored carbon core and are expected to be ideal sulfur hosts for overcoming the shortage of Li–S batteries. The hollow core–shell interlinked carbon spheres were obtained thr...
