Monodispersed silicon dioxide spherical particles have been prepared by hydrolysis of tetraethoxy silane (TEOS) in alcohol water mixed solvents and using ammonia as a catalyst. Effects of the type of solvents, the amount of water, the concentration of ammonia and temperature of hydrolysis etc . on the particle sizes and morphology of SiO 2 were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the monodispersed silicon dioxide spherical particles could be obtained in methanol and ethanol solvent, while agglomerated silicon dioxide particles were formed in n propanol and n butanol solvent. When the concentration of water and TEOS is increased or the temperature of hydrolysis raised, the particle sizes increase. The formation mechanisms of the resultant SiO 2 particles under different reaction conditions were carefully investigated and discussed.
