Abstract Core-shell structured mesoporous materials (CSMMs) have aroused enormous research interest due to the combined properties of cores and mesoporous shells that could achieve improved performance in various applications. However, the controllable coating of highly ordered mesoporous shells on functional cores is still challengeable owing to the difficulties to modulate the co-assembly process, especially for non-siliceous components such as polymers, carbon, metal oxides and so on. In this article, we concentrate on the most recent achievements on the interfacial engineering of CSMMs from single micelle building blocks, which is different from the conventional surfactant-templated strategy driven by the co-assembly mechanism. The main focus has been put on the principles and mechanisms underlying for the accurate control of mesoporous shells with different components, pore sizes, pore shapes, and functionalities. Then, several representative applications of CSMMs including catalysis, adsorption, energy storage, and biomedicines are discussed with respect to their properties. At last, the challenges and prospects for the next-generation development of CSMMs from the perspective of synthetic protocols and applications are highlighted.

来自单胶束构建块的核壳结构介孔结构的界面工程

摘要 核壳结构介孔材料（CSMMs）由于核和介孔壳的综合特性可以在各种应用中提高性能而引起了极大的研究兴趣。然而，由于难以调节共组装过程，特别是对于非硅质组分，如聚合物、碳、金属氧化物等，在功能核上可控地包覆高度有序的介孔壳仍然是一个挑战。在本文中，我们专注于从单胶束构建块进行 CSMM 界面工程的最新成果，这与由共组装机制驱动的传统表面活性剂模板策略不同。主要关注点在于精确控制具有不同组分、孔径、孔形状和功能的介孔壳的基本原理和机制。然后，讨论了 CSMM 的几个代表性应用，包括催化、吸附、能量存储和生物医学。最后，从合成协议和应用的角度强调了下一代CSMMs发展的挑战和前景。
