title: A simple method for the preparation of hollow ZnO nanospheres for use as a high performance photocatalyst.
abstract: We have used classical electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment to successfully fabricate hollow ZnO nanospheres. The hollow ZnO nanospheres were then used to study the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye and were proven to have excellent photocatalytic activity. The mechanism of formation of hollow ZnO nanospheres and the reason for the high photocatalytic activity were also investigated.
