Technical Field

Background
Compared with the bulk material, the nano material (especially with a hollow structure) has the characteristics of low density, high specific surface area, good stability, strong surface permeability, special optical properties and the like, and is one of the directions of interest in the field of material research. The alumina hollow structure has a hollow structure, has a larger specific surface area, can adsorb and fill particles, has high chemical stability, can remarkably improve catalytic efficiency due to large specific surface area and pore size and high activity when the size of the alumina hollow structure is reduced to a nano scale, can be used as a packaged very small reactor, and is widely applied to catalytic cracking of heavy oil macromolecules, heterogeneous catalysis, novel reactors in chemical engineering, adsorption separation and immobilized enzyme conversion in petrochemical engineering, carriers in automobile exhaust treatment, carriers for drug delivery, development of artificial batteries, protection of bioactive agents such as proteins, enzymes or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and the like.
A range of materials have been fabricated into hollow spherical structures by various methods, including carbon, polymers, metals and other inorganic materials. The main methods for preparing hollow microspheres are nozzle reaction processes, emulsion/phase separation processes, and removable core technologies. The latter two methods can be broadly classified as a template method, and there are two types of templates that are generally used as a core, a soft template serving as the former and a hard template serving as the latter. The templates used in common use are mainly: lyotropic liquid crystals, copolymer mesophases, bicontinuous microemulsion droplets, emulsion foams, monodisperse inorganic spheres, stacks thereof, bacterial supramolecules, polystyrene emulsion spheres.
The preparation of the inorganic hollow spheres mainly comprises metal oxides and metals, and most of the previous works are difficult to control, and the operation process is generally complex, so that the application of the inorganic hollow spheres is limited to a great extent. Reports on the synthesis of alumina core-shell, hollow spheres are rare.
