“…From the last few decades controlled synthesis of hollow and porous NPs of metal oxides is of particular interest due to potential applications such as drug delivery, controlled release of drugs, catalysis, artificial cells, chemical storage, light weight fillers, adsorptive materials, and chemical sensors [4][5][6]. Hollow NPs are a unique class in the functional nanomaterials and hollow metal oxide NPs have raised attention due to their thin shell, inner void, and doubled surface area [3,7] in their applications due to their unique nature and different physicochemical properties and a remarkable progress has been made in their synthesis until now [8].…”
