Abstract
Silica/titania hollow nano-hybrid particles were prepared by the sol-gel method. At first, we synthesized polystyrene (PS)/silica core-shell particles. Secondary, we coated these particles with titania and then we obtained silica/titania hollow hybrid particle by heat decomposition of the PS core.
In this study, we changed the concentration of titanium alkoxide to coat the silica particles. The surface morphology and the crystal structure of the silica/titania particles were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD).
