Herein, the design and synthesis of ZIF‐67 nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable size grown inside hollow carbon nanospheres (ZIF‐67@HCSs) via a space‐confined strategy is reported. HCSs are first prepared via pyrolysis of polystyrene@polypyrrole (PS@PPy) composite nanospheres. Further infiltration of 2‐methylimidazole (MI) into the HCSs (MI@HCSs) using a melting‐diffusion strategy, followed by immersing MI@HCSs into Co(NO3)2 solution through the pores and channels of HCSs results in the formation of ZIF‐67@HCSs. The as‐synthesized ZIF‐67@HCSs with tunable ZIF‐67 size is achieved by changing the amount of MI. Due to the high pore volume provided by nanoscale ZIF‐67 NPs, the as‐prepared core–shell ZIF‐67@HCSs exhibit outstanding adsorption capacity for CO2.
