Abstract
As a unique class of nanomaterials with a high surface-area-to-volume ratio and narrow size distribution, ultrafine metal nanoparticles (UMNPs) have shown exciting properties in many applications, particularly in the field of catalysis. Growing UMNPs in situ on solid supports enables precise control of the UMNP size, and the supports can effectively prevent the aggregation of UMNPs and maintain their high catalytic activity. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress in controlled growth of UMNPs using various solid supports and their applications in catalysis.
