Meanwhile,the morphology characteristics and application of the synthesized mesoporous,hollow silica,and silica-based microspheres were also presented.It was pointed out that different methods and preparation conditions have large effect on material morphology,for example on the size of pore diameter,pore shape,and crystal form.The environmental-friendly method with mild conditions and simple steps should be the developing trend.</SPAN>
