Description
Summary:During the past decade, considerable efforts have been made to fabricate inorganic materials with hollow nano/micro structures because many interesting optical, electronic, magnetic, catalytic and chemical properties are associated with these structures. Among the methods that have been used for the synthesis of hollow nano/micro structures, hard- and soft-template syntheses are the two mostly used routes. The size and morphology of the product can be controlled very well through choosing appropriate template, however, the removal of template is a rather complex process. Recently, a new sacrificial-template route is used to synthesis nanomaterials, in which the template materials act as one reactant and will be used up after the reaction, hence, the step for the template removal is successfully leaving out.
