Core–shell Pd@Ag nanoparticles are formed within the pores of MOFs via a seed mediated growth strategy with activated hydrogen atoms as the reducing agent, leading to a family of bimetallic core–shell MOF nanomaterials with excelling catalytic performance in room temperature reactions.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with mean diameter of 150 nm were synthesized by using an aqueous-basedreduction method. Ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as a reducing agent and as acatalyst, respectively. These AgNPs were subsequently coated with a layer of TiO2 to form Ag/TiO2 core-shellnanoparticles by using a sol-gel method. The particle sizes and morphology of Ag/TiO2 core-shellnanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transition electronmicroscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity of the Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles were evaluated basedon the degradation of methylene blue (MB) as the model reaction. The TiO2 coating has resulted in theenhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag nanoparticles as compared to bare Ag nanoparticles.

Water-in-oil microemulsions have been found to be good templates for synthesis of ZnO and ZnO@Ag nanoparticles and offered themselves as ideal ‘nanoreactors’ for uniform fabrication of core@shell nanoparticles.

Spherical α-Fe2O3/Ag core/shell nanoparticles were prepared by reducing Ag(NH3)2+ with formaldehyde using the seeding method. 3- Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) acts as a “bridge” to link between α-Fe2O3 core and Ag shell. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, and Roman. The results show thatα-Fe2O3 cores are coated by Ag shell completely. The average size of α-Fe2O3/Ag nanoparticles is 95 nm and the thicknesses of Ag shell are 15nm in 3.7% HCHO and 1.0M AgNO3. The thickness of Ag shell can be tunable by changing reaction conditions, such as the concentration of AgNO3, reduction reaction rate. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of the core/shell particles are measured with Pyridine (Py) as molecule probe. SERS indicate that the Raman signals of Py adsorbed on α-Fe2O3/Ag nanoparticles exhibit large enhancement at 1010 and 1038 cm-1 respectively. And the intensity of signals is enhanced with the increase of the thickness of Ag shell. The uniform and rough surface of α-Fe2O3/Ag particles exhibits strong SERS activity in 3.7% HCHO and 1.0M AgNO3. The spherical α-Fe2O3/Ag core/shell nanoparticles exhibit SERS activity.

In this paper, we study the absorption efficiency spectra and electric field distribution of Ag nanoparticles enveloped with [Formula: see text] nanoshell by applying the discrete dipole approximation theory. Three kinds of [Formula: see text] core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) structural variables, including the same core with different shell thickness, the same outer shell with different core radius, and the same size of total radius have been discussed in detail. The simulated results show that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak wavelength of NPs is linearly proportional with the volume fraction of the shell, regardless of the outer shell material property and one structural variable. Compared to the plasmon resonance peak of the Ag nanoparticles, the LSPR shift of the NPs is dependent on both the total particles size and the outer [Formula: see text] shell thickness. The electric field around the surface of NPs becomes weaker under the same damping when the core radius decreases. Based on the plasmonic characteristics revealed in this study, it is suggested that it would provide some key guidances for designing the future NPs structural variables for a broad range of plasmon applications.
