Sol-gel coating of inorganic nanostructures with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin

A general sol–gel process has been developed to form a coating of resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) resin on inorganic nanostructures of various compositions and morphologies. The RF shell can be conveniently converted into carbon through high temperature carbonization under an inert atmosphere.
