Abstract The hollow polyaniline (PANI) micro/nanospheres are obtained through a simple monomer polymerization in alkaline solution with Triton X-100 Micelles as soft templates. The hollow PANI micro/nanospheres demonstrate rapid and effective removal ability for Chromium (VI) (Cr (VI)) in a wide pH range, and the maximum removal capacity can reach 127.88 mg/g at pH 3. After treated with acid, the used hollow PANI micro/nanospheres have about the similar removal capacity of Cr (VI) from wastewater.
