Abstract: Hollow superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanospheres were prepared by co-precipitating iron (Ⅱ) and iron (Ⅲ) chloride salts in the presence of sodium hydroxide at 80℃. Triblock copoly-mer F127 was used as template. The nanospheres were characterized by XRD and TEM. The experimental results show that the Fe3O4 hollow nanospheres are uniform and well dispersed, the diameter is from 55 to 75nm and the shell thickness is about 7nm.

Key words: hollow, superparamagnetic, nanospheres, Fe3O4, F127
