An alternative approach to nanostructured carbon materials relies on the use of covalently stabilized micellar precursors that are soluble in aqueous systems (see picture). These precursors belong to a class of shell cross‐linked nanoparticles (SCKs) that are formed by self‐assembly and stabilization of amphiphilic block copolymers.
