Incorporating shape and size controlled metal nanoparticles (NPs) into metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) shows great potential in heterogeneous catalysis. The combination of ordered nanoporous structure of MOFs and the well-defined surfaces of metal NPs provides a new tool to modulate the catalysis on the metal surface. Due to the large pore size, framework flexibility and selective interaction with gas molecules, MOFs have been widely used for gas storage with high selectivity. Among which have been developed to date, Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) and UiO-66 show advantageous properties. The solvent resistivity and high thermal stability makes them stand out to be good candidates as shell materials in core shell catalysts. In our work, we developed an efficient way to create a yolk-shell structure of Pd nanoparticles in ZIF-8 and, at the same time, a method to incorporate the shape/size controlled Pt nanoparticles into well-defined octahedral UiO-66 nanocrystals with the control of concentration and dispersion. The formation mechanisms of both yolk-shell and core-shell structures were also studied in the work.
