title: Cobalt oxide hollow nanoparticles derived by bio-templating.
abstract: We present here the first fabrication of hollow cobalt oxide nanoparticles produced by a protein-regulated site-specific reconstitution process in aqueous solution and describe the metal growth mechanism in the ferritin interior.
