Popis: An aqueous, one-pot synthesis of encapsulated palladium (Pd) nanoparticles by cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) is reported. A metalloorganic compound, cerium (IV) atrane, was prepared and used as water-stable CeO 2 precursor. The CeO 2 shell of the synthesized Pd@CeO 2 core@shell nanoparticles was composed of 2–5 nm nanocrystals exhibiting both micro- and meso-pores. The catalytic activity as well as the accessibility of reactants to the Pd core were confirmed by CO oxidation, where excellent low temperature activity was observed. The thermal stability of the as-prepared Pd@CeO 2 can be enhanced by two methods: (1) forming CeO 2 -ZrO 2 solid solutions and (2) forming SiO 2 secondary shells as a sintering-barrier.
