Preparation and Characterization of Hollow Silica Nanospheres
Abstract:
Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres were prepared using functionalized polystyrene (PS) as a template and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption and thermo gravimetry (TG) techniques. The effect of ammonia amount on hollow silica spheres was explored. It is found that the ammonia amount is important to the fabrication of hollow silica nanospheres. The roughness and thickness of the silica shell increased with the increase of ammonia amount. When ammonia amount reached 20 ml, the product hadn’t been hollow structural. The TGA curves and the BET results of the samples supplied a proof for the formation mechanism of the hollow silica spheres.
