Abstract Silica hollow microspheres have received extensive attention from researchers because of their potentially important applications in catalysis, biomolecular packaging, drug delivery, and gene delivery. In this study, self-made nano-calcium carbonate was used as a template, and ethyl orthosilicate was used as a silicon source to prepare hollow silica microspheres with complete structure. The results showed that the nano-calcium carbonate prepared with a calcium hydroxide solution of 0.15% concentration had complete spherical structure, with the increase of cal-cium hydroxide concentration, calcium carbonate begins to transform from spherical structure to massive or fibrous structure in the form of calcite crystals. Ethyl orthosilicate is used as a silicon source to form monomers through hydrolysis. Adjusting the pH value allows the hydrolysate to nucleate and grow on the nano-calcium carbonate template and form a three-dimensional network skeleton through polycondensation. After removing the template and drying, the structure is intact hollow silica microspheres.
