In this report, multiple-shell hollow silver and hematite composite microsphere has been prepared by using carbonaceous saccharide microsphere as template. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The core size and shell thickness of hollow spheres obtained can be manipulated by changing the concentration of metal salt. The unique multiple-shell hollow silver and hematite composite microspheres may be potentially used as gas-sensor materials for detecting various toxic gases.
