Conspectus Microgels are macromolecular networks swollen by the solvent in which they
are dissolved. They are unique systems that are distinctly different from common colloids …

Hollow nanomaterials have attracted a broad interest in multidisciplinary research due to
their unique structure and preeminent properties. Owing to the high specific surface area …

Nanoreactors with hollow structures have attracted great interest in catalysis research due to
their void‐confinement effects. However, the challenge in unambiguously unraveling these …

Yolk–shell ternary composites composed of a Ni sphere core and a SnO 2 (Ni 3 Sn 2) shell
were successfully prepared by a facile two-step method. The size, morphology …

An innovative approach for efficient synthesis of petal-like molybdenum disulfide
nanosheets inside hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCSs), the yolk–shell structured …

Catalysis by metallic nanoparticles is certainly among the most intensely studied problems
in modern nanoscience. However, reliable tests for catalytic performance of such …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …

Capping agents (organic ligands, polymers, surfactants, etc.) are a basic component in the
synthesis of metal nanoparticles with controlled size and well-defined shape. However, their …

Herein, we show that mesoporous titania-supported gold nanoparticle assemblies (Au/MTA)
catalyze the activation of NaBH4 and 1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethyl disiloxane (TMDS) compounds …

Yolk–shell nanostructures (YSNs) composed of a core within a hollow cavity surrounded by
a porous outer shell have received tremendous research interest owing to their unique …
