title: Controlled formation of uniform CeO2 nanoshells in a buffer solution.
abstract: Uniform CeO2 nanoshells were successfully prepared by using buffer solution as a unique growth medium. The application of this methodology to construct a yolk-shell structured Au@CeO2 nanocatalyst shows improved performance for the catalytic CO oxidation.
