Abstract
Yolk-shell nanoparticles based on mesoporous SiO2 (mSiO2) coating of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) hold great promise for many applications in e.g., catalysis, biomedicine, and sensing. Here, we present a single-step coating approach for synthesizing Au NP@mSiO2 yolk-shell particles with tunable size and tunable hollow space between yolk and shell. The
