A novel type of inorganic fullerene‐like nanoparticle has been synthesized, presenting the unique structure of a closed, nested nanobox. These nanoparticles consist of WS 2 , and are obtained by spray pyrolysis of (NH 4 ) 2 WS 4 solutions at high temperature. The nanoparticles exhibit the shoebox shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and possess a hollow core surrounded by walls made up of stacked WS 2 layers.
