	abstract = {<p>The encapsulation of gold nanoparticles 8-12nm in size within a porous Ti-SiO2 shell to form a core-shell nanoarchitecture was investigated, and the catalytic activity of the resulting structure was probed. Detailed characterization of the synthesized materials shows that the core-shell morphology is lost beyond a certain amount of incorporated titanium, and results in normal gold-supported Ti-SiO2. The material has a high surface area (913m(2)g(-1)) and high porosity, both of which make it an excellent choice for catalytic applications. With the optimum amount of incorporated Ti, the core-shell catalyst shows excellent room-temperature CO oxidation activity over several cycles with retention of its morphology at higher temperatures.</p>},
