Mechanism of a self-templating synthesis of monodispersed hollow silica nanospheres with tunable size and shell thickness.
This study clarifies the mechanism of the hollow structure formation in the simple self-templating preparation of monodispersed hollow silica structures; the role of the polarity of washing solvent in creating the hollow structure is emphasized.
