Yolk-shell structured nanomaterials, possessing a hollow shell and interior core, are emerging as unique nanomaterials with applications ranging from material science, biology, and chemistry. In particular, the scaffold yolk-shell structure shows great promise as a nanocatalyst. Specifically, the hollow shell offers a confined space, which keeps the active yolk from aggregation and deactivation. The inner void ensures the pathway for mass transfer. Over the last few decades, many strategies have been developed to endow yolk-shell based nanomaterials with superior catalytic performance. This minireview describes synthetic methods for the preparation of various yolk-shell nanomaterials. It discusses strategies to improve the performance of yolk-shell catalysts with examples for engineering the shell, yolk, void, and related synergistic effects. Finally, it considers the challenges and prospects for yolk-shell nanocatalysts.

The Co4CatTM process is a simple, surfactant-free method to produce colloidal dispersions of precious metal nanoparticles in alkaline mono-alcohols. The synthesis is performed in low-boiling-point solvents and is relevant for industrial production. The robustness of the process is demonstrated by using three different commercial spirits as solvents to obtain Pt nanoparticles. The results demonstrate that careful control of the solvent purity is not needed to achieve the synthesis of stable 2 nm platinum nanoparticle colloids readily active electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions like the methanol oxidation.
