TL;DR: It is reported that high surface area of up to 3,022 m2 g−1 can be achieved for hollow carbon nanospheres with an outer diameter of 69 nm by a simple carbonization procedure with carefully selected carbon precursors and carbonization conditions.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a facile and versatile method to fabricate water-dispersible, pH/temperature responsive and readily carbonizable hairy microporous polymeric nanospheres based on combination of the hyper-cross-linking chemistry with the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP).

TL;DR: Benefiting from the three-dimensional nanonetwork structure and well-distributed Au nanoparticles, the as-prepared nanocomposites demonstrated excellent photocatalysis performances.

TL;DR: A novel class of an all-in-one microporous adsorbent that simultaneously has excellent environmental chemosensory responsivity, visual detectivity, superfast micropollutant adsorption, as well as easy regeneration is reported herein.

TL;DR: In this article, a functional nanonetwork-structured polymers with inbuilt poly(acrylic acid) linings were successfully synthesized by combining surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and hypercrosslinking chemistry, and demonstrated superior adsorption performances toward basic dyes and heavy metal ions.
