| Abstract: | Nano‐heterostructures have attracted great attention due to their extraordinary properties beyond those of their single‐component counterparts. This review focuses on a specific type of hybrid structures: core–shell structures. In particular, we present and discuss the recent wet‐chemical synthesis approaches for semiconductor and metallic core–shell nanostructures, and their relevant properties and potential applications in photovoltaics and catalysis, respectively. |
