As one type of promising candidates for environmental and energy-related systems,multi-shelled transition metal oxide hollow structures(MS-TMOHSs)have drawn great scientific and technical interest in the past few years.This article highlights recent advances in one-pot solution synthesis of MS-TMOHSs.We begin it with an overview of synthetic strategies that have been exploited to achieve these peculiar structures.We then focus on one-pot solution approaches in the following four sections:i)soft templates directed growth;ii)Ostwald ripening;iii)controlled etching;and iv)gas bubble assisted growth.After giving a brief discussion on the unique properties and applications of these multi-shelled hollow structures,we conclude this review with the general challenges and the potential future directions of this exciting area of research.
