Encapsulation of titanium(IV) oxide particles in hollow silica for size-selective photocatalytic reactions.
A core-shell composite of TiO2 particles encapsulated in a hollow silica was fabricated, and the core-shell composite showed size-selective photocatalytic activity for decomposition of organics without reducing the intrinsic activity of the naked TiO2 core.
