Abstract
Hollow CaCO3 microspheres were successfully synthesized through the precipitation reaction of Na2CO3 with CaCl2 in the presence of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) at 80 °C. The concentration of SDS is an important factor to control the synthesis of hollow CaCO3 microspheres. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the hollow CaCO3 microsphere consists of calcite crystals. The “pearl-necklace model” of PAA/SDS micellar aggregates serves as the spherical templates to generate hollow microspheres of CaCO3 crystals in the precipitation system.
