For the development of effectively and economically VOCs control technology, we propose a polyol process to fabrication silver nanowire core and metal oxide shell nano-catalysts. These catalysts were then characterized and tested for the catalytic removal of IPA at different temperatures. The silver nanowire exhibited higher oxidation activities than that the polycrystalline silver particle. Moreover, the silver nanowire@CeOx core-shell particles showed the highest activity among the catalysts and could completely oxidize 125 ppm IPA at 175℃. Our results also indicated that the nano-structure of silver wire would not change significantly after the core-shellstructured prepared by the polyol process.
