“…148,179,209,216 So, the metal/silica YS NPs are discussed separately under two subclasses: (i) noble metal/ silica and (ii) magnetic metal/silica. 23,47,56,92,94,96,157,170,177,211,214,215,217,218,[220][221][222][223] Ag, 219,222,224 Cu, 219,225 Pt, 210,226 and Pd 178,213,223,227,228 are reported as cores within a hollow silica shell. Most of the researchers have studied the SPR and catalytic properties of noble metal/silica YS NPs.…”
