One-pot synthesis of a Au@TiO2 core–shell nanocomposite and its catalytic property

Abstract

In this work, Au@TiO₂ core–shell nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by a one-pot method through the combination of the reverse micelle technique with the redox reaction between Au(III) and Ti(III) for the first time, and showed excellent stability towards the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
