Abstract
In recent decades, with the rapid development of the inorganic synthesis and the increasing discharge of pollutants in the process of industrialization, hollow-structured metal oxides (HSMOs) have taken on a striking role in the field of environmental catalysis. This is all due to their unique structural characteristics compared to solid nanoparticles, such as high loading capacity, superior pore permeability, high specific surface area, abundant inner void space, and low density. Although the HSMOs with different morphologies have been reviewed and prospected in the aspect of synthesis strategies and potential applications, there has been no systematic review focusing on the structures and compositions design of HSMOs in the field of environmental catalysis so far. Therefore, this review will mainly focus on the component dependence and controllable structure of HSMOs in the catalytic elimination of different environmental pollutants, including the automobile and stationary source emissions, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting substances, and other potential pollutants. Moreover, we comprehensively reviewed the applications of the catalysts with hollow structure that are mainly composed of metal oxides such as CeO2, MnOx, CuOx, Co3O4, ZrO2, ZnO, Al3O4, In2O3, NiO, and Fe3O4 in automobile and stationary source emission control, volatile organic compounds emission control, and the conversion of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances. The structure-activity relationship is also briefly discussed. Finally, further challenges and development trends of HSMO catalysts in environmental catalysis are also prospected.

Abstract
The current study involved the preparation of a number of MnOx/Sep catalysts using the impregnation (MnOx/Sep-I), hydrothermal (MnOx/Sep-H), and precipitation (MnOx/Sep-P) methods. The MnOx/Sep catalysts that were produced were examined for their ability to catalytically oxidize formaldehyde (HCHO). Through the use of several technologies, including N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, FTIR, TEM, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, CO2-TPD, and XPS, the function of MnOx in HCHO elimination was examined. The MnOx/Sep-H combination was shown to have superior catalytic activities, outstanding cycle stability, and long-term activity. It was also able to perform complete HCHO conversion at 85 °C with a high GHSV of 6000 mL/(g·h) and 50% humidity. Large specific surface area and pore size, a widely dispersed active component, a high percentage of Mn3+ species, and lattice oxygen concentration all suggested a potential reaction route for HCHO oxidation. This research produced a low-cost, highly effective catalyst for HCHO purification in indoor or industrial air environments.

Abstract
Noble metals have become a research hotspot for the oxidation of light alkanes due to their low ignition temperature and easy activation of C-H; however, sintering and a high price limit their industrial applications. The preparation of effective and low-noble-metal catalysts still presents profound challenges. Herein, we describe how a Ru@CoMn2O4 spinel catalyst was synthesized via Ru in situ doping to promote the activity of propane oxidation. Ru@CoMn2O4 exhibited much higher catalytic activity than CoMn2O4, achieving 90% propane conversion at 217 °C. H2-TPR, O2-TPD, and XPS were used to evaluate the catalyst adsorption/lattice oxygen activity and the adsorption and catalytic oxidation capacity of propane. It could be concluded that Ru promoted synergistic interactions between cobalt and manganese, leading to electron transfer from the highly electronegative Ru to Co2+ and Mn3+. Compared with CoMn2O4, 0.1% Ru@CoMn2O4, with a higher quantity of lattice oxygen and oxygen mobility, possessed a stronger capability of reducibility, which was the main reason for the significant increase in the activity of Ru@CoMn2O4. In addition, intermediates of the reaction between adsorbed propane and lattice oxygen on the catalyst were monitored by in situ DRIFTS. This work highlights a new strategy for the design of a low-noble-metal catalyst for the efficient oxidation of propane.

Abstract
The catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) under ambient conditions plays a crucial role in the abatement of indoor CO, which poses risks to human health. Despite the notable activity exhibited by Pt-based catalysts in CO oxidation, their efficacy is usually diminished by the CO self-poisoning issue. In this work, three different Pt/CeO2-based catalysts, which have distinct coordinative environments of Pt but an identical Pt/CeO2 substrate structure, were synthesized by activating the catalyst with CO using different temperatures and durations. Compared with clean and graphite-covered Pt on CeO2, the one modified by epoxy carbon showed higher activity and stability. The combination of characterizations and density functional theory modeling demonstrated that the clean Pt on CeO2 rapidly deactivated due to the CO self-poisoning albeit high initial activity, and conversely, low initial activity was observed for the more stable graphite-covered catalyst due to the obstruction of the Pt site. In contrast, epoxy carbon species on Pt shifted the d-band of Pt to lower energy, weakening the Pt-CO binding strength. Such a modification mitigated the self-poisoning effect while maintaining ample active sites and enabling the complete oxidative removal of CO under ambient conditions. This work may provide a general approach to tackling the self-poisoning issue.

Abstract
Hierarchical micro/nanostructures are constructed by micro-scaled objects with nanoarchitectures belonging to an interesting class of crystalline materials that has significant applications in diverse fields. Featured with a large surface-to-volume ratio, facile mass transportation, high stability against aggregation, structurally enhanced adsorption, and catalytical performances, three dimenisional (3D) hierarchical metal oxides have been considered as versatile functional materials for waste-water treatment. Due to the ineffectiveness of traditional water purification protocols for reclamation of water, lately, the use of hierarchical metal oxides has emerged as an appealing platform for the remediation of water pollution owing to their fascinating and tailorable physiochemical properties. The present review highlights various approaches to the tunable synthesis of hierarchical structures along with their surface modification strategies to enhance their efficiencies for the removal of different noxious substances. Besides, their applications for the eradication of organic and inorganic contaminants have been discussed comprehensively with their plausible mechanistic pathways. Finally, overlooked aspects in this field as well as the major roadblocks to the implementation of these metal oxide architectures for large-scale treatment of wastewater are provided here. Moreover, the potential ways to tackle these issues are also presented which may be useful for the transformation of current water treatment technologies.

Abstract
Designing efficient and stable non-precious metal catalysts remains a significant challenge for formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation, which is an expected way to replace the employment of noble-metal catalysts. Herein, a series of atomically dispersed Co catalysts are optimized by evaporating nitrogen atoms and exploring their HCHO oxidation catalytic performance. The results show that the prepared temperature can effectively control the coordination regulation of the Co atomic site, which in turn affects the catalytic oxidation activity. Our best catalyst, the Co-N/C prepared at 1000 °C, exhibits superior activity with 92.8% of conversion at room temperature at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 72,000 mL·g-1·h-1. Extensive characterizations combined with theoretical calculations reveal that the high catalytic activity is attributed to the low-coordinated center, which can be tailored by pyrolysis temperature. This work provides an innovative strategy for catalyst design in the catalytic oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is toxic to the human body and is one of the main threats to the indoor air quality (IAQ). As such, the removal of HCHO is imperative to improving the IAQ, whereby the most useful method to effectively remove HCHO at room temperature is catalytic oxidation. This review discusses catalysts for HCHO room-temperature oxidation, which are categorized according to their preparation methods, i.e., gas-phase reduction and liquid-phase reduction methods. The HCHO oxidation performances, structural features, and reaction mechanisms of the different catalysts are discussed, and directions for future research on catalytic oxidation are reviewed.

Abstract
Pt/Al2O3 catalysts showing excellent activity and stability have been used in various reactions, including HCHO oxidation. Herein, we prepared Pt-Na/Al2O3 catalysts with a Pt content of 0.05 wt % to reveal the key factors determining the anchoring of Pt as well as the catalytic activity and mechanism of HCHO oxidation. Pt-Na/nano-Al2O3 (denoted as Pt-Na/nAl2O3) catalysts with 0.05 wt % Pt content could completely oxidize HCHO to CO2 at room temperature, which is the lowest Pt content used in HCHO catalytic oxidation to our knowledge. After Na addition, terminal hydroxyl groups (denoted as HO-μter) on nano-Al2O3 were transformed to doubly bridging hydroxyl groups between Na and Al (denoted as HO-μbri(Na-Al)), which atomically dispersed Pt species. Pt anchoring further promoted the regeneration of HO-μbri(Na-Al) by activating O2 and H2O, oxidizing HCHO to CO2 directly by the fast reaction step ([HCOO-] + [OH]a → CO2 + H2O). Our study revealed that the HO-μbri(Na-Al) synergistically generated by HO-μter and Na species provided anchoring sites for Pt species.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation to improve indoor air quality has attracted extensive attention. Designing efficient catalysts for HCHO removal at room temperature still remains challenging. Herein, we report a novel strategy to boost HCHO oxidation by the synergistic effect of Pt nanoparticles and C3N4. The pyridine nitrogen of C3N4 can create Lewis base sites, which function in adsorbing and activating O2 molecules. As the preparation temperature increased, the pyridine nitrogen content increased on the C3N4 surface, leading to a more significant synergistic effect. The mechanism study by in situ DRIFTS indicated that the adsorbed O2 molecules were activated by Pt/C3N4. As a result, the Pt/C3N4-650 has the most outstanding performance for HCHO oxidation at room temperature. HCHO can be completely eliminated with a concentration of 80 ppm at room temperature at a GHSV of 50 000 ml g-1 h-1. This study will provide a new perspective to design efficient HCHO oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
Surface hydroxyl is widely perceived as conducive to HCHO degradation. Here, a kind of sodium titanate with interlayered hydroxyls (NaTi2HO5) was prepared to study the action conditions of surface hydroxyls in HCHO oxidation. The nanotubes mainly exposing (001) and nanobelts mainly exposing (100) are synthesized as the two morphologies of NaTi2HO5. We found the (001) facet is much more favored to HCHO adsorption via HRTEM and XPS analysis. The DFT calculations prove that the synergy of surface hydroxyl and Na atom is perfect for HCHO chemisorption. By this means NaTi2HO5 nanotubes can partially oxidize HCHO into formate and release very few CO, measured by in situ DRIFTS. Dominated by Pt nanoparticles, the complete oxidation of HCHO can be performed on NaTi2HO5 nanotubes with enhanced early reaction speed. Rather than simple surface hydroxyl, the effective synergy of hydroxyl and positive ion is proposed as an advantage for HCHO oxidation.

Abstract
γ- and δ-alumina are popular catalyst support materials. Using a hydrothermal synthesis method starting from aluminum nitrate and urea in diluted solution, spherical core-shell particles with a uniform particle size of about 1 μm were synthesized. Upon calcination at 1000 °C, the particles adopted a core-shell structure with a γ-alumina core and δ-alumina shell as evidenced by 2D and 3D electron microscopy and 27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The spherical alumina particles were loaded with Pt nanoparticles with an average size below 1 nm using the strong electrostatic adsorption method. Electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed a homogeneous platinum dispersion over the alumina surface. These platinum loaded alumina spheres were used as a model catalyst for bifunctional catalysis. Physical mixtures of Pt/alumina spheres and spherical zeolite particles are equivalent to catalysts with platinum deposited on the zeolite itself facilitating the investigation of the catalyst components individually. The spherical alumina particles are very convenient supports for obtaining a homogeneous distribution of highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles. Obtaining such a small Pt particle size is challenging on other support materials such as zeolites. The here reported and well-characterized Pt/alumina spheres can be combined with any zeolite and used as a bifunctional model catalyst. This is an interesting strategy for the examination of the acid catalytic function without the interference of the supported platinum metal on the investigated acid material.

Abstract
The application of tandem catalysis is rarely investigated in degrading organic pollutants in the environment. Herein, a tandem catalyst on single platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (Pt0 NPs) is prepared for the sequential degradation of formaldehyde (HCHO) to carbon dioxide gas [CO2(g)] at room temperature. The synthesis approach includes coating of uniform Pt NPs on SrBi2Ta2O9 platelets using a photoreduction process, followed by calcination of the sample in the atmosphere to tune partial transformation of Pt0 atoms to Pt2+ ions in the tandem catalyst. The conversion of HCHO to CO2(g) is monitored by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which shows first conversion of HCHO to CO32- ions onto Pt0 active sites and subsequently the conversion of CO32- ions to CO2(g) by neighboring Pt2+ species of the catalyst. The later process with Pt2+ species does not allow CO32- poisoning of the catalyst. The enhanced activity of the prepared tandem catalyst to oxidize HCHO is maintained continuously for 680 min. Comparatively, the catalyst without Pt2+ shows activity for only 40 min. Additionally, the tandem catalyst presented herein performs better than the Pt/titanium dioxide (TiO2) catalyst to degrade HCHO. Overall, the tandem catalyst may be applied to degrade organic pollutants efficiently.

Abstract
This study presents a TiO2/C hybrid material with biomimetic channels fabricated using a wood template. Repeated impregnations of pretreated wood chips in a Ti precursor were conducted, followed by calcination at 400-600 °C for 4 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The generated TiO2 nanocrystals were homogenously distributed inside a porous carbon framework. With an extremely low Pt catalyst loading (0.04-0.1 wt%), the obtained porous catalyst could effectively oxidize formaldehyde to CO2 and H2O even under room temperature (conv. ∼100%). Wood acted as both a structural template and reduction agent for Pt catalyst generation in sintering. Therefore, no post H2 reduction treatment for catalyst activation was required. The hierarchal channel structures, including 2-10 nm mesopores and 20 μm diameter channels, could be controlled by calcination temperature and atmosphere, which was confirmed by SEM and BET characterizations. Based on the abundant availability of wood templates and reduced cost for low Pt loading, this preparation method shows great potential for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancy is conducive to molecular oxygen adsorption and activation, and it is necessary to estimate its contribution on catalysts, especially the doped system for volatile organic compound (VOC) oxidation. Herein, a series of doped Mn xZr1- xO2 catalysts with oxygen vacancy were prepared by partially substituting Zr4+ in a zirconia with low-valent manganese (Mn2+). Compared with the corresponding mechanically mixed samples (MB-x) without oxygen vacancy, Mn xZr1- xO2 catalysts exhibited better toluene conversion and specific reaction rate, where the differential values were calculated to estimate the contribution of oxygen vacancy on catalytic performance. The increase in oxygen vacancy concentrations in Mn xZr1- xO2 catalysts can boost the differential values, implying the enhancement of oxygen vacancy contribution. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed the contribution of oxygen vacancy, and molecular oxygen is strongly absorbed and activated on a defective Mn-doped c-ZrO2 (111) surface with oxygen vacancy rather than a perfect m-ZrO2 (-111) surface or a perfect Mn-doped c-ZrO2 (111) surface, thus resulting in the significant improvement in catalytic activity for toluene oxidation. In situ DRIFTS spectra revealed that the oxygen vacancy can alter the toluene degradation pathway and accelerate the intermediates to convert into CO2 and H2O, thus leading to a low activation energy and high specific reaction rate.

Abstract
Supported Pt catalyst has been intensively investigated for formaldehyde elimination owing to its superior reactivity at room temperature (RT). However, the high Pt content is challenging because of its high cost. Herein, we report PbO-supported Pt catalysts with only 0.1 wt % Pt, which can achieve complete conversion of formaldehyde and reliable stability at RT under demanding conditions. Both experiments and simulations demonstrate that PbO interacts strongly with the Pt species, resulting in tight Pb-O-Pt bonding at the metal/support interface and concomitant activation of the surface lattice oxygen of the support. Moreover, PbO exhibits an extremely high capacity of formaldehyde capture through methylene glycol chemisorption rather than the common hydroxyl-associated adsorption, presenting a different reaction mechanism because the active surface lattice oxygen in the vicinity of Pt species offers improved reactivity. This work provides a valuable example for the design of an efficient catalyst for formaldehyde and potentially oxidation of other carbohydrates. Pt% in catalyst for room temperature formaldehyde removal was reduced to 0.1 wt % 100% formaldehyde removal and reliable stability was achieved at room temperature PbO interacts strongly with the Pt species to form tight Pb-O-Pt bonding The active surface lattice oxygen close to Pt species offers improved reactivity

Abstract
A significant number of hip replacements (HR) fail permanently despite the success of the medical procedure, due to wear and progressive loss of osseointegration of implants. An ideal model should consist of materials with a high resistance to wear and with good biocompatibility. This study aims to develop a new method of grafting the surface of selective laser melted (SLM) titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with poly (2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), to improve the surface properties and biocompatibility of the implant. PMPC was grafted onto the SLM fabricated Ti-6Al-4V, applying the following three techniques; ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, thermal heating both under normal atmosphere and UV irradiation under N2 gas atmosphere. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3D optical profiler, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterise the grafted surface. Results demonstrated that a continuous PMPC layer on the Ti-6Al-4V surface was achieved using the UV irradiation under N2 gas atmosphere technique, due to the elimination of oxygen from the system. As indicated in the results, one of the advantages of this technique is the presence of phosphorylcholine, mostly on the surface, which reveals the existence of a strong chemical bond between the grafted layer (PMPC) and substrate (Ti-6Al-4V). The nano-scratch test revealed that the PMPC grafted surface improves the mechanical strength of the surface and thus, protects the underlying implant substrate from scratching under high loads.

Abstract
This work reports the template-free fabrication of mesoporous Al2 O3 nanospheres with greatly enhanced textural characteristics through a newly developed post-synthesis "water-ethanol" treatment of aluminium glycerate nanospheres followed by high temperature calcination. The proposed "water-ethanol" treatment is highly advantageous as the resulting mesoporous Al2 O3 nanospheres exhibit 2-4 times higher surface area (up to 251 m2 g-1 ), narrower pore size distribution, and significantly lower crystallization temperature than those obtained without any post-synthesis treatment. To demonstrate the generality of the proposed strategy, a nearly identical post-synthesis "water treatment" method is successfully used to prepare mesoporous monometallic (e.g., manganese oxide (MnO2 )) and bimetallic oxide (e.g., CuCo2 O4 and MnCo2 O4 ) nanospheres assembled of nanosheets or nanoplates with highly enhanced textural characteristics from the corresponding monometallic and bimetallic glycerate nanospheres, respectively. When evaluated as molybdenum (Mo) adsorbents for potential use in molybdenum-99/technetium-99m (99 Mo/99m Tc) generators, the treated mesoporous Al2 O3 nanospheres display higher molybdenum adsorption performance than non-treated Al2 O3 nanospheres and commercial Al2 O3 , thereby suggesting the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for improving the functional performance of oxide materials. It is expected that the proposed method can be utilized to prepare other mesoporous metal oxides with enhanced textural characteristics and functional performance.

Abstract
Herein, the wet-chemical process (co-precipitation) was used to prepare nanosheets (NSs) of Co3O4/Al2O3 in an alkaline medium (pH ∼ 10.5). The synthesized NSs were totally characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV/vis), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The synthesized NSs were deposited onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to prepare a very thin layer with a conducting binder for detecting 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) selectively by a reliable electrochemical method. The proposed chemical sensor exhibits good sensitivity (54.9842 μA μM−1 cm−2), long-term stability, and enhanced chemical response by electrochemical approaches. The resultant current is found to be linear over the concentration range (LDR) from 0.01 nM to 0.01 mM. The estimated detection limit (DL) is equal to 1.73 ± 0.02 pM. This study introduces a potential route for future sensitive sensor development with Co3O4/Al2O3 NSs by an electrochemical approach for the selective detection of hazardous and carcinogenic chemicals in environmental and health care fields.

Abstract
A reliable xanthine (XNT) chemical sensor was fabricated using a facile wet-chemical method (by co-precipitation) to prepare ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) in an alkaline medium at low temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) were implemented for detailed characterization of the NPs. To fabricate the working electrode as a XNT chemical sensor probe, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a 0.0316 cm2 surface area was coated with an ethanolic slurry of the prepared ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3 NPs to make a thin layer and used to analyse XNT in a phosphate buffer system. To evaluate the analytical performances of the XNT chemical sensor, the calibration curve of XNT was plotted as the relationship of current versus the concentration of XNT. The plotted calibration curve was found to be linear over the LDR (linear dynamic range) of 0.05 nM to 5.0 μM. The assembled XNT electrochemical sensor exhibited the highest sensitivity (70.8861 μA μM−1 cm−2), the lowest detection limit (1.34 ± 0.07 pM), good reproducibility performance with high accuracy and long-term stability with standard results under ambient conditions. This is a simple route to selectively detect XNT with wet-chemically prepared co-doped ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3 nanomaterials using a reliable electrochemical method at a large scale for safety within healthcare fields.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous SiO2/C hollow microspheres (HPSCHMs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal and NaOH-etching combined route. The adsorption performance of the prepared HPSCHMs was investigated to remove Congo Red (CR) in aqueous solution. The results show that the synthesized composite possesses a hollow microspherical structure with hierarchical pores and a diameter of about 100–200 nm, and its surface area is up to 1154 m2 g−1. This material exhibits a remarkable adsorption performance for CR in solution, and its maximum adsorption amount for CR can reach up to 2512 mg g−1. It shows faster adsorption and much higher adsorption capacity than the commercial AC and γ-Al2O3 samples under the same conditions. The studies of the kinetics and thermodynamics indicate that the adsorption of CR on the PHSCHM sample obeys the pseudo-second order model well and belongs to physisorption. The adsorption activation energy is about 7.72 kJ mol−1. In view of the hierarchically meso–macroporous structure, large surface area and pore volume, the HPSCHM material could be a promising adsorbent for removal of pollutants, and it could also be used as a catalyst support. Hierarchically porous SiO2/C hollow microspheres (HPSCHMs) were synthesized. Its surface area is up to 1154 m2 g–1. Hierarchically porous structure facilitates diffusion of adsorbate. Its maximum adsorption amount for Congo Red is up to 2512 mg g–1.![]()

Abstract
A novel green preparation route to prepare nano-mesoporous γ-Al2O3 from AlCl3.6H2O derived from aluminum foil waste and designated as ACFL550 is demonstrated, which showed higher surface area, larger pore volume, stronger acidity and higher surface area compared to γ-Al2O3 that is produced from the commercial AlCl3 precursor, AC550. The produced crystalline AlCl3.6H2O and Al(NO3)3.9H2O in the first stage of the preparation method were characterized by single-crystal XRD, giving two crystal structures, a trigonal (R-3c) and monoclinic (P21/c) structure, respectively. EDX analysis showed that ACFL550 had half the chlorine content (Cl%) relative to AC550, which makes ACFL550 a promising catalyst in acid-catalysed reactions. Pure and modified ACFL550 and AC550 were applied in acid-catalysed reactions, the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether and the total methane oxidation reactions, respectively. It was found that ACFL550 showed higher catalytic activity than AC550. This work opens doors for the preparation of highly active and well-structured nano-mesoporous alumina catalysts/supports from aluminum foil waste and demonstrates its application in acid-catalysed reactions.

Abstract
Particle sintering is one of the most significant impediments to functional nanoparticles in many valuable applications especially catalysis. Herein, we report that sintering-resistant nanoparticle systems can be realized through a simple materials-design which maximizes the particle-to-particle traveling distance of neighbouring nanoparticles. As a demonstration, Pt nanoparticles were placed apart from each other in wide-mouthed compartments tailored on the surface of self-assembled silica nanosheets. These Pt nanoparticles retained their particle size after calcination at elevated temperatures because the compartment wall elongates the particle-to-particle traveling distance to preclude the possibility of sintering. Moreover, these Pt nanoparticles in wide-mouthed compartments were fully accessible to the environment and exhibited much higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than the nanoparticles confined in the nanochannels of mesoporous silica. The proposed materials-design strategy is applicable not only to industrial catalysts operating in harsh conditions, but also opens up possibilities in developing advanced nanoparticle-based materials with sustained performance.

Abstract
The effect of temperature and water/thiourea ratio on the growth, crystallinity and morphological characteristics of CdS nanostructures synthetized by a solvothermal method using ethylenediamine as solvent were studied. The temperature and water/thiourea ratio used in the synthesis determine the surface area, shape, length and degree of crystallinity of the CdS nanostructures obtained. Nanowires of high crystallinity and length were obtained when the solvothermal synthesis was performed at 190 °C, while nanorods with lower length and crystallinity were obtained as the solvothermal temperature decreased to 120 °C. The change in the water/thiourea ratio affects the crystallinity and length of the CdS nanostructures to a lesser extent than temperature. Nevertheless an increase in the water/thiourea ratio used during the solvothermal synthesis resulted in CdS nanorods with higher crystallinity, lower aspect ratio and lower specific surface area. Textural, structural and surface properties of the prepared CdS nanostructures were determined and related to the activity results in the production of hydrogen from aqueous solutions containing SO32− + S2− under visible light.
