The invention relates to a macroporous / mesoporous hollow silica microballoon and its preparation method. The macroporous / mesoporous hollow microballoon is prepared by the following steps of: carrying out self assembly on organic polymer microballoons with different particle sizes to obtain a template, generating a silica outer layer by in situ method, and calcining to remove the internal organic matter. The internal cavity of the microballon obtained is 500-2000nm controllable and the pore diameter of the microballoon surface is 10-100nm controllable, so as to form the macroporous / mesoporous hollow structure. The preparation method provided by the invention has characteristics of simple condition, convenient operation, easily obtained raw materials, pure product, environmental protection and the like. The silica hollow microballoon provided by the invention can be widely applied in a controllable transport and delivery system of medicament, dye, cosmetic and sensitive reagents such as enzyme and protein as a carrier material, can be used as a lightweight filling material, a high selectivity catalyst or a catalyst carrier, and has a very important value in the aspects of artificial cells, disease diagnosis and the like.
