✦ Synopsis
Porous a-Fe 2 O 3 hollow microspheres were synthesized through a simple and efficient carbon sphere template method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N 2 adsorption-desorption.
Structural characterization indicated that as-prepared a-Fe 2 O 3 hollow microspheres had porous structure with around 200 nm in diameter and thin shell about 10 nm thick. The average pore size and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area of a-Fe 2 O 3 hollow microspheres were 6.5 nm and 111.6 m 2 /g, respectively. The gas sensing behavior investigation showed that as-synthesized a-Fe 2 O 3 hollow microspheres exhibited very good gas sensing property to acetone vapor.

## Abstract Hollow silica microspheres and hollow worm‐like materials were synthesized by using a simple method with the aid of 1‐dodecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide (C~12~mimBr). Hollow silica microspheres were initially produced by utilizing the combination of evaporation and an emulsion template
