Hollow ZrO 2 nanoshells are formed over a precise range of temperature and pressure from the oxidation of ZrCl 2 . The greatly enhanced photoluminescence (∼ 110×) that the nanoshells exhibit compared to that of either nanospheres or irregularly shaped nanoparticles is attributed to the nanoshell geometry (see Figure). Potential future applications include information‐storage devices.
