I have gone through few papers regarding carbon shell on metals/metal oxides etc. In most of the papers authors have used glucose as a source for carbon and following the hydrothermal synthesis. Finally obtained materials were calcined under either air or inert gas to obtain a hollow shell. If metal oxide decomposes about 300 oC then I am unable to follow this process. In this case, is there any alternative process to make hollow carbon shell on metal oxide cores?
Dear Syam,
You can use activated carbon (as such or from any other source *ref literature) in your synthesis step along metal oxide precursors.
You refer my paper (JHM).
There are water based graphite inks sell by ems for example, you can just wet yuor metal metaloxide and let dry in oven at 105 deg.
