Abstract
Inorganic hollow spheres have shown their superiority in photocatalytic area due to the large specific surface area, controllable structure and their own special optical, electrical, magnetic properties. According to the classification of inorganic hollow spheres as photocatalysts, recent research progress and application status have been summarized in this paper. At last, the future developments of inorganic hollow spheres in photocatalytic field have been discussed.
Highlights
Hollow spheres, known as 0D nanomaterial, were spheroidal aggregates with hollow structure assembled by their 1D nanomaterial
Inorganic hollow spheres have peculiar hierarchical porous structure, which makes reactant molecules transfer to the active sites of porous wall to improve their photocatalytic efficiency
Tian et al [67] prepared hierarchical flower-like Bi2MoO6 hollow spheres via a solvothermal process in the presence of ethylene glycol, which can remove over 95% Rhodamine B (Rh B) within 2 h under visible-light irradiation
Summary
Known as 0D nanomaterial, were spheroidal aggregates with hollow structure assembled by their 1D nanomaterial. Due to their characteristics of controlled morphology, uniform size, large specific surface area and low density, extensive attention has been paid so far in material area [1]-[5]. Inorganic hollow spheres have peculiar hierarchical porous structure, which makes reactant molecules transfer to the active sites of porous wall to improve their photocatalytic efficiency. (2014) Research Advances in Photocatalysis of Inorganic Hollow Spheres. In this paper, according to the classification of photocatalytic inorganic hollow spheres, recent research progress has been introduced and application status has been concluded. The future developments of inorganic hollow spheres in photocatalytic field have been discussed
