| Abstract | A unique and novel soft template-based hydrothermal approach was developed for the synthesis of hollow TiO2 and hollow TiO2@N-doped carbon. The synthesis strategy involves the slow hydrolysis of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) at 100 °C in the presence of a block copolymer (Pluronic F127) as the surfactant, resorcinol as the polymer precursor and titanium salt as the metal oxide precursor to form a hollow composite nanostructure consisting of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) covered with a resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) polymer shell. Hydrolysis of HMTA provides a gradual and controlled supply of hydroxide ions, formaldehyde and ammonia. The resulting ammonia initiates the polymerization reaction of the generated formaldehyde with resorcinol to produce an RF–polymer framework over the TiO2 NPs thereby generating TiO2@RF polymer particles, which in turn self-assemble to form a hollow TiO2@RF polymer composite nanostructure. Subsequent pyrolysis under an N2 atmosphere produces a hollow TiO2 nanostructure covered with a thin layer of N-doped carbon. The resulting novel nanostructure not only possesses a high surface area of 310 m2 g−1, but also provides a protective N-doped carbon layer. As a result, this hollow TiO2@N-doped carbon material demonstrates high potential as an electrode material for use as an electrochemical capacitor with high specific capacitance and high durability. Interestingly, this work proceeds through a very effective, simple one-pot synthesis route to generate novel hollow TiO2 composite structures, and will enable the synthesis of various active hollow metal oxide@N-doped carbon and/or hollow organic–inorganic hydride nanocomposite materials for many possible applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
