【 摘 要 】

AgClhollow nanospheres have been synthesized successfully via a hard-template approach using silica nanospheres ashard template for the first time. The phase, size and morphology of theas-prepared AgCl were investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-EmissionScanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM); which reveals that the cubic AgCl hollownanospheres with a cell constant a = 5.549 Å are 220 nm in diameter and 10 nmof shell-thickness. The as-prepared AgCl hollow nanospheres demonstrateenhanced photodegradation of Rhodamine (RhB) under visible light irradiationthan AgCl microparticles. The AgCl hollow nanospheres are of great importanceto wide application in catalysis, drug delivery and nanobiotechnology.
