A novel dual-outward contraction mechanism is applied to construct 2D hollow carbon superstructures (HCSs) via pyrolysis of hybrid ZIF superstructures. One outward contraction stress is offered by the in situ formed thin carbon shell, while another originates from the interconnected facets of ZIF polyhedra within the ZIF superstructure.
