Summary:A novel catalyst functionalization method is proposed by I.‐D. Kim and co‐workers using the self‐assembly of protein‐encapsulated catalytic nanoparticles on polystyrene colloid templates. On page 911, these templates are employed in electrospinning to achieve well‐dispersed catalyst functionalization as well as to form open pores on WO3 nanofibers (NFs) after subsequent heat‐treatment. The improved analyte‐sensing performance is investigated with catalyst‐loaded porous WO3 NFs, demonstrating their potential for application in exhaled breath analysis to diagnose diseases.
