Generalized synthesis of a family of multishelled metal oxide hollow microspheres

Abstract

Varieties of multishelled hollow spheres with a high yield have been successfully prepared via a simple route with gluconate salt as the carbon source. The product yield of the multishelled hollow spheres was determined by the pH value of the solution. Multiple light reflecting and scattering in between the hierarchical spherical shells enhanced the photo-energy conversion efficiency of the ZnO hollow sphere-based DSSC.
