摘要
A simple and convenient method, free of template, has been proposed to synthesize hollow carambolashaped Ag2 S microspheres with Ag NO3, thiourea（TU）, Na Cl and diethanolamine as reagents using a microwave-assisted method, at low temperatures of below 100 ℃. Powder X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（FESEM） and high resolution transmission electron microscopy（HRTEM）were employed to characterize the morphology and composition of those microspheres. The results indicated that the hollow carambola-shaped silver sulfide microspheres（with high purity and homogeneous morphology） were prepared by an Ostwald ripening process. A possible formation mechanism of hollow carambola-shaped Ag2 S microspheres was proposed.
