Abstract

Thanks to rapid advances in synthesis chemistry, nanomaterials with well-defined sizes, shapes, structures, crystal facets, and compositions are currently available. To date, a numerous number of work has been performed to design and construct different nanocomposites with core–shell and yolk–shell structures. In this chapter, classification, characteristics, and functionalities of core–shell and yolk–shell nanoparticles and their possibilities in catalytic reactions are briefly overviewed. Thereafter, the contents of this book are outlined.
