Hierarchical structured SiO2@gamma-AlOOH spheres were fabricated in one step by using silica colloidal spheres as a template. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy investigation showed that the shell is composed of large amounts of nanoscale gamma-AlOOH lamellas. The growth mechanism was proposed as silica template-induced heterogeneous deposition of gamma-AlOOH lamellas. The adsorption properties of hierarchical SiO2@gamma-AlOOH spheres annealed at different temperatures were investigated through the removal test of Cr(VI) ions in model wastewater, and the nanostructures annealed at 400 degrees C showed good adsorption capability of Cr(VI) ions.
