Core-Shell and Yolk-Shell Nanocatalysts

This book introduces recent progress in preparation and application of core—shell and yolk—shell structures for attractive design of catalyst materials. Core—shell nanostructures with active core particles covered directly with an inert shell can perform as highly active and selective catalysts with long lifetimes. Yolk—shell nanostructures consisting of catalytically active core particles encapsulated by hollow materials are an emerging class of nanomaterials. The enclosed void space is ex...
