Disclosed is a core-shell structured nanocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide production. The core-shell structured nanocatalyst includes a core composed of spherical silica immobilized with noble metal nanoparticles and a mesoporous shell surrounding the core. The use of the nanocatalyst with a mesoporous shell for the production of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen ensures high hydrogen conversion and hydrogen peroxide production rate compared to the use of conventional nanoparticle catalysts with a microporous shell. Also disclosed is a method for hydrogen peroxide production using the nanocatalyst.
