Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2025, 16, 1963–1997, doi:10.3762/bjnano.16.137

Graphical Abstract
  • –water mixtures provides a higher yield of gaseous products which favours the formation of hollow nanospheres. This effect observed in water–ethanol mixtures is explained by a longer cavitation bubble lifetime as compared to that of pure water [56][57]. Similarly, saturation of a liquid with gases also
  • provides a route to synthesize hollow nanospheres, as shown in [58]. The reactive gases, such as H2, O2, and CO2 can also direct the growth of nonspherical NPs by adsorption on the seed NP surface and block the growth along specific directions [59][60]. The ambient gases can also induce exfoliation of

Thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies demonstrated the absence of polymer residue after the calcination process. The antimicrobial properties of the developed CSTiO2 hollow nanospheres were evaluated against different
