A one‐step facile synthesis of submicrometer‐sized hollow silver spheres (see Figure) has been achieved in aqueous solutions by using double‐hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC)‐surfactant complex micelles as removable templates. The unique silver shell structures are candidates for both fundamental research and applications.
