We identified that the growth kinetics of ZrO2 could be well-tuned in a CH3COOH-CH3COONa based buffer solution, which provided an efficient way to build uniform ZrO2 nanoshells on various substrates. Using this synthetic strategy, yolk-shell structured Pd@ZrO2 is demonstrated as a promising catalyst for methane oxidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
