Integration of yolk-shell units into a robust and highly reactive nanoreactor: a platform for cascade reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 7;55(21):3093-3096. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00288j.

Abstract

A three-dimensionally integrated yolk-shell (3D-IYS) nanoreactor with spatially separated functionalities was fabricated via a protection-deprotection approach and core-shell colloidal crystal templates (CS-CCTs). The resulting bifunctional catalyst served as a platform for cascade reactions with excellent activity, selectivity, and recyclability.
