Controllable integration of metallic nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) may create a new material with multifunctional applications. In this work, an emerging type of core-shell nanostructure, in which metallic Pd nanoparticle cores were encapsulated by MOF (ZIF-67) shells, was facile...
