Abstract:

AbstractA SiO2@PPy core/shell structure was synthesized by performing the polymerization of pyrrole monomers around SiO2 spheres. For the first time, the SiC hollow spheres with a high surface area was prepared from the SiO2@PPy with a core/shell structure by using a carbothermal reduction reaction technique. The preparation process and the structures of the products were characterized with XRD, TEM, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and XPS. The results indicate that β-SiC hollow spheres with a specific surface area of 101.3 m2/g could be prepared from the SiO2@PPy with a core/shell structure.
