A Strategy to Synthesize Hollow Micro/Nanospheres with Tunable Shell Thickness

A simple one‐step direct templating method is developed to synthesize hollow carbon and sandwich‐like ZnO/C/ZnO micro/nanospheres. The type and shell thickness of the final products can be controlled by simply adjusting the reaction temperature. The removal of the templates can also be easily controlled during the synthesis. At a low temperature, the templates remain in the products to form hollow sandwich‐like micro/nanospheres. As the reaction temperature rises, the templates are consumed, which results in the preparation of hollow carbon micro/nanospheres. On the basis of a series of experiments, we propose a simple plausible mechanism to address the original strategy for synthesizing these hollow micro/nanospheres. Furthermore, the sandwich‐like ZnO/C/ZnO nanospheres can be used as the anode in lithium‐ion batteries, exhibiting an extraordinary cyclability and a high coulombic efficiency. This approach can be extended to the synthesis of other hollow spheres. Further investigation is underway in our group.     

Facile route to Zn-based II-VI semiconductor spheres, hollow spheres, and core/shell nanocrystals and their optical properties

A convenient chemical conversion method that allows the direct preparation of nanocrystalline ZnE (E = O, S, Se) semiconductor spheres and hollow spheres as well as their core/shell structures is reported. By using monodisperse ZnO nanospheres as a starting reactant and in situ template, ZnS, ZnSe solid and hollow nanospheres, and ZnO/ZnS and ZnO/ZnSe core/shell nanostructures have been obtained through an ultrasound-assisted solution-phase conversion process. The formation mechanism of these nanocrystals is connected with the sonochemical effect of ultrasound irradiation. The photoluminescence and electrogenerated chemiluminescence properties of the as-prepared nanocrystals were investigated.     

Optical,magnetic and photocatalytic properties of magnetically separable Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>-doped ZnO and pristine ZnO nanospheres

This work focussed on the optical, magnetic and photocatalytic properties of sol–gel-synthesized Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres and was compared with pristine ZnO nanospheres. The crystalline phase of Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres was studied with X-ray diffraction analysis and was well matched with standard pattern. Surface morphology was studied with HR-SEM images and EDAX spectrum. Furthermore, elemental mapping analysis was carried out to confirm the presence of Fe₃O₄ phase in Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres. FT-Raman spectral studies show that a strong intense peak at 670 cm^?1 indicates the presence of Fe₃O₄ in Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres. The mean crystallite size of Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres was 34 nm as calculated by Debye–Scherrer’s formula which confirmed with HR-TEM image. The SAED pattern shows the presence of (100), (101), (102) and (202) of ZnO phase and (400) of Fe₃O₄ phase, confirming the crystalline nature of Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) result shows that Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres possess superparamagnetic nature and the composite nanospheres are magnetically separable. The optical properties have been studied by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. Implantation of Fe₃O₄ in ZnO nanospheres modifies the UV absorption edge, and it displays near-band gap emission and deep-level emission. The photocatalytic activity of Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres studied against rhodamine B dye is found higher than that of pristine ZnO nanospheres which shows that Fe₃O₄-doped ZnO nanospheres are a promising photocatalyst.     

Sonochemical Preparation of Hierarchical ZnO Hollow Spheres for Efficient Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Hierarchical ZnO hollow spheres (400–500 nm in diameter) consisting of ZnO nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 15 nm have been successfully prepared by a facile and rapid sonochemical process. The formation of hierarchical ZnO hollow spheres is attributed to the oriented attachment and subsequent Ostwald ripening process according to time‐dependent experiments. The as‐prepared ZnO hollow spheres are used as a photoanode in dye‐sensitized solar cells and exhibit a highly efficient power conversion efficiency of 4.33 %, with a short‐circuit current density of 9.56 mA cm^?2, an open‐circuit voltage of 730 mV, and a fill factor of 0.62 under AM 1.5 G one sun (100 mW cm^?2) illumination. Moreover, the photovoltaic performance (4.33 %) using the hierarchical ZnO hollow spheres is 38.8 % better than that of a ZnO nanoparticle photoelectrode (3.12 %), which is mainly attributed to the efficient light scattering for the former.     

Template-free Polyoxometalate-assisted Synthesis of Au/ZnO Hollow Sphere Hererostructures for Photocatalytic Water Purification

The controlled synthesis of ZnO hollow spheres is successfully achieved through a facile solvothermal method using a Keggin-type silicotungstic acid(H_4 Si(W_3 O_(10))_4:HSW) as structure directing agent. The formation process of these hollow spheres is proposed based on a variety of controlled experiments. In addition, Au nanoparticles are loaded onto the surface of ZnO hollow spheres. It is found that the Au-loaded ZnO(Au/ZnO) composites exhibit greatly enhanced activity on oxidizing Rhodamine B(Rh B) under simulated UV or visible light irradiation, compared to the pristine ZnO hollow spheres. The improved performance of Au/ZnO heterostructures is mainly attributed to the enhanced optical absorption and the accelerated separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Moreover, the photocatalytic reaction mechanisms are proposed based on the results of electron spin resonance(ESR) analysis, photoelectrochemical measurements, and photocatalytic evaluation. The results and findings are expected to provide significance to the synthesis of noble metal-semiconductor hybrids towards water purification.     

Synthesis of Highly Uniform Molybdenum–Glycerate Spheres and Their Conversion into Hierarchical MoS2 Hollow Nanospheres for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Highly uniform Mo–glycerate solid spheres are synthesized for the first time through a solvothermal process. The size of these Mo–glycerate spheres can be easily controlled in the range of 400–1000 nm by varying the water content in the mixed solvent. As a precursor, these Mo–glycerate solid spheres can be converted into hierarchical MoS₂ hollow nanospheres through a subsequent sulfidation reaction. Owing to the unique ultrathin subunits and hollow interior, the as‐prepared MoS₂ hollow nanospheres exhibit appealing performance as the anode material for lithium‐ion batteries. Impressively, these hierarchical structures deliver a high capacity of about 1100 mAh g^?1 at 0.5 A g^?1 with good rate retention and long cycle life.     

Biomolecule‐Assisted Construction of Cadmium Sulfide Hollow Spheres with Structure‐Dependent Photocatalytic Activity

In this study, we report the synthesis of monodispersive solid and hollow CdS spheres with structure‐dependent photocatalytic abilities for dye photodegradation. The monodispersive CdS nanospheres were constructed with the assistance of the soulcarboxymthyi chitosan biopolymer under hydrothermal conditions. The solid CdS spheres were corroded by ammonia to form hollow CdS nanospheres through a dissolution–reprecipitation mechanism. Their visible‐light photocatalytic activities were investigated, and the results show that both the solid and the hollow CdS spheres have visible‐light photocatalytic abilities for the photodegradation of dyes. The photocatalytic properties of the CdS spheres were demonstrated to be structure dependent. Although the nanoparticles comprising the hollow spheres have larger sizes than those comprising the solid spheres, the hollow CdS spheres have better photocatalytic performances than the solid CdS spheres, which can be attributed to the special hollow structure.

Preparation of single-hole hollow polymer nanospheres by raspberry-like template method

Single-hole hollow polymer nanospheres were fabricated by raspberry-like template method using "graft-from" strategy through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Nanometer-sized silica spheres were covalently attached onto the surfaces of micrometer-sized silica spheres. Crosslinked polymer shells on the nano-sized spheres outside the attached area were formed by "graft-from" strategy through ATRP. After removal of the silica cores, single-hole hollow crosslinked polymer nanospheres were obtained. In this strategy, most of ATRP monomers may be used and thus many functional groups can be easily incorporated into the single-hole hollow crosslinked polymer nanospheres.     

A facile method to fabricate ZnO hollow spheres and their photocatalytic property

This paper presents a novel and facile method for the fabrication of ZnO hollow spheres. In this approach, zinc ions were first adsorbed onto the surfaces of sulfonated polystyrene core-shell template spheres, and then reacted with NaOH to form a ZnO crystal nucleus, which was followed by a growth step to form ZnO nanoshells. During the formation of ZnO nanoshells or later on, the template spheres were "dissolved" in the same media to obtain ZnO hollow spheres directly. Neither additional dissolution nor calcination process was needed in this method to remove the templates, and the reaction conditions were very mild: neither high temperature nor long time was needed. Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis were used to investigate the morphology, surface composition, crystalline structure, specific surface area, and porosity of the ZnO hollow spheres, respectively. UV-visible spectra show that these ZnO hollow spheres had very good photocatalytic activity.
