Monodisperse single-crystalline alpha-cristobalite nanospheres have been synthesized by hydrocarbon-pyrolysis-induced carbon deposition on amorphous silica aerosol nanoparticles, devitrification of the coated silica at high temperature, and subsequent carbon removal by oxidation. The nanosphere size can be well controlled by tuning the size of the colloidal silica precursor. Uniform, high-purity nanocrystalline alpha-cristobalite is important for catalysis, nanocomposites, advanced polishing, and understanding silica nanotoxicology.
