Abstract

TiO2 hollow microspheres were successfully synthesized via a controlled hydrolysis reaction, which involved the deposition of an inorganic coating of TiO2 on the surface of carbon spheres and subsequent removal of carbon spheres by calcination in air. The as-prepared TiO2 hollow microspheres with an average diameter of 200 nm presented a novel morphology, which was constructed by closely crosslinked TiO2 nanochains. The morphology of the hollow sphere can be controlled by varying the concentration of TiCl3 solution. A possible formation mechanism was also proposed. The photo-degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution showed that TiO2 hollow microspheres exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than that of TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared TiO2 microspheres here could result from their hollow structures assembled by TiO2 nanochains and large light-harvesting efficiency.
