Abstract

A general and facile synthetic strategy for fabrication of a series of high-yield and uniform rare-earth oxysulfate hollow spheres is demonstrated as the first example via calcination corresponding rare-earth coordination compounds obtained using L-cysteine as a biomolecular template. Furthermore, the hollow spheres can also be successfully doped or formed in a double-shell form for property modification and technological applications.
