Uniform zinc-cyanide hybrid coordination polymer microspheres were successfully synthesized by a coprecipitation method. Then hierarchical yolk-shell structured and carbon coated ZnO microspheres (YC-ZnO) composed of ZnO@C nanocrystals were prepared by consecutive post annealing processes of these m...
