Abstract

A novel procedure to fabricate nanoarchitectures of crystalline titania hollow shells was developed by using assembled latex particles as templates. Latex particles were assembled on the surface of solid substrates and covered with ultrathin titania films by the surface sol–gel process. When the titania-covered latex particle was subjected to oxygen plasma treatment, hollow titania spheres were formed at the original site of particle deposition. Following calcination of the amorphous, titania hollow shells induced their crystallization to titania nanocrystals (anatase).
