Discrete, uniform < 10 nm sized hollow carbon nanoshells (HCNS) have been formed via a facile, one-step heat induced transformation of alkane thiol stabilised silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Direct evidence for the templated formation of predominantly complete, spherical HCNS, from rapid heating to...
