The as-obtained products were well characterized by XRD SEM TEM HrTeM SAED and DSC-TGA. It was shown that the 3D flower-like hierarchical b-Ni OH 2 hollow architectures with a diameter of several micrometers are assembled from nanosheets with a thickness of 10-20 nm and a width of m. A rational mechanism of formation was proposed on the basis of a range of contrasting experiments. 3D flower-like hierarchical NiO hollow architectures with porous structure were obtained after thermal decomposition at appropriate temperatures. UV-Vis spectra reveal that the band gap of the as-synthesized NiO samples was about eV exhibiting obviously red shift compared with the bulk counterpart.
