Abstract

(Graph Presented) Limited holeliness: Core-satellite nanocomposite catalysts protected by a layer of mesoporous silica have been fabricated through the combination of simple sol-gel and etching processes. As superparamagnetic components are also incorporated, these composite structures are ideal recyclable catalysts. (see plot for performance in repeated cycles of 4-nitrophenol reduction).
