A Silica Nanorattle with a Mesoporous Shell: An Ideal Nanoreactor for the Preparation of Tunable Gold Cores

Abstract

Using silica nanorattles filled with N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ethylenediamine as nanoreactors, size-tunable gold cores are fabricated inside the silica nanorattles using a facile, efficient, and large-scale method.
