Abstract
As a novel class of catalytic materials, hollow nanoreactors offer new opportunities for improving catalytic performance owing to their higher controllability on molecular kinetic behavior. Nevertheless, to achieve controllable catalysis with specific purposes, the catalytic mechanism occurring inside hollow nanoreactors remains to be further understood. In this context, this Review presents a focused discussion about the basic concept of hollow nanoreactors, the underlying theory for hollow nanoreactor-driven kinetics, and the intrinsic correlation between key structural parameters of hollow nanoreactors and molecular kinetic behaviors. We aim to provide in-depth insights into understanding kinetics occurred within typical hollow nanoreactors. The perspectives proposed in this paper may contribute to the development of the fundamental theoretical framework of hollow nanoreactor-driven catalysis.

Abstract
In this work, palladium-loaded smart membranes made by UV cross-linking of thermoresponsive microgels are prepared to obtain a reusable, catalytically active material which can, for example, be implemented in chemical reactors. The membranes are examined with respect to their coverage of a supporting mesh via atomic force microscopy measurements. Force indentation mapping was performed in the dried, collapsed state and in the swollen state in water to determine the Young modulus. Furthermore, we compare the catalytic activity of the membrane with the corresponding suspended colloidal nanoparticle microgel hybrids. For this purpose, the reduction of 4-nitrophenol is an established model reaction to quantify the catalytic activity by UV-vis spectroscopy. The membrane is embedded inside a continuous stirred tank reactor equipped for continuous monitoring of the reaction progress. Although catalysis with membranes shows lower catalytic activity than freely dispersed particles, membranes allow straightforward separation and recycling of the catalyst. The fabricated membranes in this work show no decrease in catalytic activity between several cycles, unlike free particles. The feasible and durable deposition of catalytically active inter-cross-linked microgel particles on commercial nylon meshes as supporting scaffolds, as demonstrated in this work, is promising for up-scaling of continuous industrial processes.

Abstract
Contiguous metal foams offer a multitude of advantages over conventional powders as supports for nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts; most critically a preformed 3-D porous framework ensuring full directional coverage of supported catalyst, and intrinsic ease of handling and recyclability. Nonetheless, metal foams remain comparatively underused in thermal catalysis compared to more conventional supports such as amorphous carbon, metal oxides, zeolites and more recently MOFs. Herein, we demonstrate a facile preparation of highly-reactive, robust, and easy to handle Ni foam-supported Cu-based metal catalysts. The highly sustainable synthesis requires no specialized equipment, no surfactants or additive redox reagents, uses water as solvent, and CuCl2(H2O)2 as precursor. The resulting material seeds as well-separated micro-crystalline Cu2(OH)3Cl evenly covering the Ni foam. Calcination above 400 °C transforms the Cu2(OH)3Cl to highly porous CuO. All materials display promising activity towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and methyl orange. Notably, our leading CuO-based material displays 4-nitrophenol reduction activity comparable with very reactive precious-metal based systems. Recyclability studies highlight the intrinsic ease of handling for the Ni foam support, and our results point to a very robust, highly recyclable catalyst system.

Abstract
In this work, we present core-shell microgels with tailor-made architecture and properties for the incorporation of palladium nanoparticles. The microgel core consists of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) copolymerized with methacrylic acid (MAc) as anchor point for the incorporation of palladium nanoparticles. The microgel shell is prepared by copolymerization of NIPAM and the UV-sensitive comonomer 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)-benzophenone (HMABP). The obtained core-shell architecture was analyzed by means of photon correlation spectroscopy, while the incorporated amount of HMABP was further confirmed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, the microgel system was used for loading with palladium nanoparticles and their size and localization were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of the monodisperse palladium nanoparticles was tested by reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. The obtained reaction rate constants for the core-shell system showed enhanced activity compared to the Pd-loaded bare core system. Furthermore, it was possible to recycle the catalyst several times. Analysis via transmission electron microscopy revealed, that the incorporated palladium nanoparticles emerged undamaged after the reaction and subsequent purification process since no aggregation or loss in size was observed.

Abstract
Functional, hierarchically mesostructured nonwovens are of fundamental importance because complex fiber morphologies increase the active surface area and functionality allowing for the effective immobilization of metal nanoparticles. Such complex functional fiber morphologies clearly widen the property profile and enable the preparation of more efficient and selective filter media. Here, we demonstrate the realization of hierarchically mesostructured nonwovens with barbed wire-like morphology by combining electrospun polystyrene fibers, decorated with patchy worm-like micelles, with solution-processed supramolecular short fibers composed of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamides with peripheral N,N-diisopropylaminoethyl substituents. The worm-like micelles with a patchy microphase-separated corona were prepared by crystallization-driven self-assembly of a polyethylene based triblock terpolymer and deposited on top of the polystyrene fibers by coaxial electrospinning. The micelles were designed in a way that their patches promote the directed self-assembly of the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide and the fixation of the supramolecular nanofibers on the supporting polystyrene fibers. Functionality of the mesostructured nonwoven is provided by the peripheral N,N-diisopropylaminoethyl substituents of the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide and proven by the effective immobilization of individual palladium nanoparticles on the supramolecular nanofibers. The preparation of hierarchically mesostructured nonwovens and their shown functionality demonstrate that such systems are attractive candidates to be used for example in filtration, selective separation and heterogenous catalysis.

Abstract
Nanozymes (NZs) as stable cost-effective mimics of natural enzymes may be promising catalysts in food and environmental biotechnology, biosensors, alternative energy and medicine. The majority of known NZs are mimetics of oxidoreductases, although there are only limited data regarding mimetics of reductases. In the present research, a number of metal-based NZs were synthesized via chemical methods and screened for their antioxidant ability in solution. The most effective reductase-like Zn/Cd/Cu NZ was characterized in detail. Its antioxidant properties in comparison with several food products and Trolox, as well as substrate specificity, size and composition were studied. Zn/Cd/Cu NZ was shown to mimic preferentially selenite reductase. The amperometric sensor was constructed possessing a high sensitivity (1700 A M-1 m-2) and a broad linear range (16-1000 μM) for selenite ions. The possibility to apply the fabricated sensor for selenite determination in commercial mineral water has been demonstrated.
