Silica nanoparticles have been one of the most promising nanosystems for biomedical applications due to their facile surface chemistry and non-toxic nature. However, it is still challenging to effectively deliver them into tumor sites and noninvasively visualize their in vivo biodistribution with excellent sensitivity and accuracy for effective cancer diagnosis. In this study, we design a yolk/shell-structured silica nanosystem Cu-NOTA-QD@HMSN-PEG-TRC105, which can be employed for tumor vasculature targeting and dual-modality PET/optical imaging, leading to superior targeting specificity, excellent imaging capability and more reliable diagnostic outcomes. By combining vasculature targeting, pH-sensitive drug delivery, and dual-modality imaging into a single platform, as-designed yolk/shell-structured silica nanosystems may be employed for the future image-guided tumor-targeted drug delivery, to further enable cancer theranostics.

A novel palladium-loaded yolk-shell structured nanomaterial with magnetite core and phenylene-based periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) shell (FeO@YS-Ph-PMO/Pd) nanocatalyst was synthesized for the reduction of nitrobenzenes. The FeO@YS-Ph-PMO/Pd was prepared through cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) directed condensation of 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene (BTEB) around FeO@silica nanoparticles followed by treatment with palladium acetate. This nanocatalyst was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), low-angle and wide-angle powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses.

The yolk-shell structured silica nanocomposites have been considered by many researchers due to their specific physical and chemical properties. These materials have been widely used in adsorption and catalysis processes. Especially, the void space of yolk-shell nanostructures can provide a unique environment for storage, compartmentation, and confinement in host-guest interactions.

Biomimetic design is very helpful and significant for the smart construction of micro/nanomotors with artificial intelligence. In this work, inspired by cuttlefish, who can rapidly eject poisonous ink and are also capable of fast movement to escape, we designed and fabricated a biomimetic submicromotor with the ability of simultaneous quick movement and a temperature threshold caused explosive cargo release triggered by near infra-red (NIR) light irradiation, which was approximately equivalent to the action of cuttlefish when encountering a predator. The yolk@shell structured polydopamine@mesoporous silica (PDA@MS) with immovable and asymmetric yolk distribution was employed as a platform, and this was followed by the simultaneous encapsulation of phase change materials (PCM) and cargo molecules.

Gradient-structured materials hold great promise in the areas of batteries and electrocatalysis. Here, yolk-shell gradient-structured SiO -based anode (YSG-SiO /C@C) derived from periodic mesoporous organosilica spheres (PMOs) through a selective etching method is reported. Capitalizing on the poor hydrothermal stability of inorganic silica in organic-inorganic hybrid silica spheres, the inorganic silica component in the hybrid spheres is selectively etched to obtain yolk-shell-structured PMOs.

For yolk-shell structured nanoreactors, multiple active components can be precisely positioned on core and/or shell that can afford more exposed accessible active sites, and the internal voids can guarantee sufficient contact of reactants and catalysts. In this work, a unique yolk-shell structured nanoreactor Au@CoO/CeO@mSiO was fabricated and applied as nanozyme for biosensing. The Au@CoO/CeO@mSiO exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity with a lower Michaelis constant (K) and a higher affinity to HO.
