A facile one-pot synthesis of uniform core-shell silver nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanospheres.

The uniform core-shell silver nanoparticle@mesoporous silica nanospheres have been prepared by a simple one-pot synchronous method, which combines several steps into one, including the generation of silver nanocrystals and mesoporous silica, transfer and aggregation of silver nanoparticles in an incompact silica framework.
