Abstract: ZnO hollow microspheres were synthesized by a facile solvothermal treatment of zinc nitrate and NaAc in the presence of polyethylene glycol 10000. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM, TG-DSC, BET techniques. The effects of the amount of zinc nitrate, the amount of PEG-10000, the reaction time and the reaction temperature on the morphology and size of products were investigated. The catalytic role of ZnO hollow microspheres in ammonium perchlorate decomposition was investigated. The result shows that ammonium perchlorate decomposition temperature decreases from 442 ℃ to 280 ℃ with the addition of ZnO hollow microspheres.

Key words: zinc oxide hollow microspheres, synthesis, catalysis, ammonium perchlorate
