§ M-phase core-shell and M-phase core showed comparable mechanical properties. Note that due to the porous feature of the M-phase core-shell, it is challenging to precisely estimate the cross-section area. See BET data in Figure S2. #1,2 are core-shell fibers used for the second-cycle measurement of photocatalysis.
