Zinc oxide nano-hollow spheres were prepared by oxidation of zinc in mercury medium with template of surfactant micelles. SEM, EDX, TG, DTA, XRD and IR were used to characterize the as-grown products. The effect of surfactant on the growth of zinc oxide was discussed. The results show that zinc oxide hollow spheres, amorphous, with nanometer-sized thickness are assembled by zinc oxide nanometer particles. After calcinated, they transform to wurtzite structure. With suitable concentration of PEG or CTAB adding, ZnO hollow spheres can be fabricated on the surface of Zn plate. If no surfactant, excessive concentration of PEG or SDBS is added, ZnO hollow spheres can’t be fabricated.
