Abstract

A triblock asymmetric nanostructure composed of a core-shell Fe2O3@SiO2 cube as the head, SiO2 rod as the body and SiO2 tube as the tail is fabricated via a sequential growth process combining solution-liquid-solid and droplet soft templating mechanisms, which can be used as a nano stir bar with accelerated catalytic performance.
