A simple and convenient method, free of template, has been proposed to synthesize hollow carambolashaped Ag₂S microspheres with AgNO₃, thiourea (TU), NaCl and diethanolamine as reagents using a microwave-assisted method, at low temperatures of below 100℃. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were employed to characterize the morphology and composition of those microspheres. The results indicated that the hollow carambola-shaped silver sulfide microspheres (with high purity and homogeneous morphology) were prepared by an Ostwald ripening process. A possible formation mechanism of hollow carambola-shaped Ag₂S microspheres was proposed.
