Without any additional protecting molecule or reductant, the whole reaction is a clean redox process that happens among the inorganic metal salts in an alkaline aqueous solution. By using this method, Au@Co3O4/CeO2 (Au@Co-Ce), Au@Co3O4/Fe2O3 (Au@Co-Fe), and Au@CeO2/SnO2 (Au@Ce-Sn) yolk@shell nanospheres with binary oxides as shells, Au@Co3O4/CeO2/Fe2O3 (Au@Co-Ce-Fe) yolk@shell nanospheres with ternary oxides as shells Chemical scienceA general one-pot strategy for the synthesis of Au@multi-oxide yolk@shell nanospheres with enhanced catalytic performance.PMC6180307GJHZ17302152109221590794201826321210001201117621771173Yang XLi JWu LLong YZhang YGe XZhang HSong SYao SWang XfalseA general one-pot strategy for the synthesis of Au@multi-oxide yolk@shell nanospheres with enhanced catalytic performance.By integrating redox self-assembly and redox etching processes, we report a general one-pot strategy for the synthesis of Au@multi-M x O y (M = Co, Ce, Fe, and Sn) yolk@shell nanospheres.
