Issue 6 of Journal of Materials Chemistry is now online. This issue features Platinum catalyzed growth of NiPt hollow spheres with an ultrathin shell by Qian Sun, Zheng Ren, Rongming Wang, Ning Wang and Xia Cao on the front cover. This paper explains how NiPt hollow spheres with an ultrathin shell were synthesized at room temperature and reports their catalytic properties. (J. Mater. Chem., 2011, 21, 1925-1930)
The back cover advertises the work of Davide Barreca, Alberto Gasparotto and Eugenio Tondello and their Highlight Metal/oxide interfaces in inorganic nanosystems: what’s going on and what’s next? (J. Mater. Chem., 2011, 21, 1648-1654).
