The invention relates to a spherical
silicon dioxide hollow material and a preparation method thereof. The spherical
silicon dioxide hollow material is prepared from
cholic acid and
silicon source serving as raw materials in a
molar ratio of 1: 2-6. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving the
cholic acid into
aqueous solution of
ammonia to form alkali
aqueous solution of
cholic acid ammonium salt, reacting the alkali
aqueous solution with the silicon source with stirring, standing and
ageing the solution, filtering a
reaction product, and flushing and
drying the product. The silicon source is a mixture of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and ethyl
orthosilicate in a ratio of 1: 1-5. The grain
diameter of the spherical
silicon dioxide hollow material is 100 to 1,000 nanometers, and the wall thickness is 50 nanometers. A micro-molecular biological surfactant is used as a template, an
organic solvent is not used in the reaction, a template agent does not need to be further removed, the raw materials are easily obtained and are nontoxic, the operation is simple and convenient, and the conditions are mild. The
silicon dioxide hollow material prepared by the method is particularly applicable in
biomedicine related fields of medicament delivery, active guest molecule protection and the like.
