Hybrid nanomaterials with unique tailored morphologies and compositions have been used for the targetoriented catalysts owing to the synergistic properties of the individual components. The rational development of nanohybrids are expected to enable unique nanospace engineering in the resulting systems. We report the fabrication of nanohybrids composed of dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) and DFNS/gold (DFNS/Au) hybrids as the core and zinc-based nano coordination polymer particle (so called nano metal-organic framework) (Zn-NMOF) as the shell (DFNS@Zn-NMOF). The combined fibrous morphology of DFNS and micropores of NMOF can be directly employed for nanospace engineering in the hierarchical systems in a controllable manner.
