Synthesis of Submicrometer-Sized Hollow Silver Spheres in Mixed Polymer–Surfactant Solutions

Abstract

A one-step facile synthesis of submicrometer-sized hollow silver spheres (see Figure) has been achieved in aqueous solutions by using double-hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC)-surfactant complex micelles as removable templates. The unique silver shell structures are candidates for both fundamental research and applications.
