Hierarchically nanostructured titanium nitride is prepared via a novel and facile in situ dual templating approach. No prestructured templates are necessary; instead, a template is generated in situ during the synthesis from a liquid core and the resulting spherical shell, and the template is removed in the final heating without any additional chemical etching.
