Abstract
Hollow InP nanospheres with the diameters of 700–800 nm and a shell thickness of about 100 nm have been synthesized via a solvothermal reaction of InCl3 with NH4F, red phosphorus and KBH4 in ethylenediamine-ethylene glycol solution at 220°C for 24 h and subsequent HCl treatment. The hollow nanospheres are constructed from nanoparticles with a cubic structure and the sizes of 35 to 40 nm. The hollow InP nanospheres were formed by the cooperative action of H2 bubble templates and InOHF2 limitation. Electric property of the as-synthesized hollow InP nanospheres has been investigated, and the hollow nanospheres could serve as ideal functional components for photoelectronic devices.
