Porous micro- and nanostructured materials with the desired morphologies are of great interest because of their potential applications in environmental remediation. In this study, novel yolk-shell Au@CeO2 microspheres were prepared from glucose and metal salt precursors via a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis followed by precipitation and calcination. These core/shell structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform Infrared Spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and N-2 adsorption-desorption techniques. These rattle-type spheres were found to compose of a porous CeO2 shell (thickness approximate to 45 nm) and a solid gold core (diameter approximate to 50 +/- 20 nm) with variable space between the core and the shell. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye was used as a catalytic test reaction revealing that the activity of the yolk-shell spherical products was substantially higher than that of their hollow counterparts. These new core/shell structures with encapsulated gold nanoparticles may exhibit potential applications in catalysis and adsorption. Crown Copyright (c) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
