catalysts for the selective oxidation of cyclohexene using H2O2 as an
oxidant at 60 ꢀC. The high catalytic activity and stability of this kind
of nanoreactor is mainly due to the porous and hollow metal layer
within the porous SiO2 shell. The present work also provides an
exciting prospect for the application of new porous and hollow metal-
layer based core–shell nanoreactors in catalytic reactions.
