Abstract

Nickel hollow spheres (NHSs) with different diameter have been synthesized by the autocatalytic reduction method. The morphology, particle size distribution and optical absorption property of NHSs were investigated. The optical absorption intensity obviously increases in ultraviolet—near infrared region with the decrease of particle size. While in infrared region, nickel hollow spheres have almost no absorption. After the heat treatment process, the grain sizes of samples become bigger and the absorptances decrease in UV–Vis–NIR region. For smaller particles, the absorption peak in ultraviolet range moves from 375 to 440 nm because of the increase of grain size after heat treatment.
