Silica-based hierarchical porous Janus microcapsules: construction and support of Au nano-particle catalyst inside

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jul 13;53(57):8054-8057. doi: 10.1039/c7cc03077k.

Abstract

A facile and novel method was developed to fabricate silica-based hierarchical porous Janus microcapsules (HPJMs SiO2) for catalysis. The resulting Au@HPJMs SiO2 nanocomposites showed enhanced catalysis, great stability, convenient recovery and reuse without losing catalytic efficiency.
