It can be larger: A facile self‐assembly/solvothermal approach to synthesize monodispersed, large‐pore (>12 nm) silica nanospheres (LPSNs) with ordered, accessible, and interconnected pore channels has been successfully developed by utilizing an amphiphilic block copolymer (polystyrene‐ b ‐poly (acrylic acid), PS‐ b ‐PAA) as pore template and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure‐stabilizing agent.
