Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been considered the promising catalysts due to their merits of abundant metal sites, versatile coordination groups, and tunable porous structure. However, low electronic conductivity of most MOFs obstructs their direct application in electrocatalysis. In this work, we fabricate an Ni-Rh bimetallic conductive MOF ([Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC) grown in situ on carbon cloth. Abundant nanopores in the conductive MOFs expose additional catalytic active sites, and the advantageous 2D π-conjugated structure helps accelerate charge transfer. Owing to the introduction of Rh, [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC exhibited substantially improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and exhibited only an overpotential of 320 mV to achieve the current density of 20 mA cm-2. The remarkable OER performance confirmed by the electrochemical tests could be ascribed to the synergistic effect caused by the doped Rh together with Ni in [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC, thereby exhibiting outstanding electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Efficient O2 reduction reaction (ORR) for selective H2O generation enables advanced fuel cell technology. Nonprecious metal catalysts are viable and attractive alternatives to state-of-the-art Pt-based materials that are expensive. Cu complexes inspired by Cu-containing O2 reduction enzymes in nature are yet to reach their desired ORR catalytic performance. Here, the concept of mechanical interlocking is introduced to the ligand architecture to enforce dynamic spatial restriction on the Cu coordination site. Interlocked catenane ligands could govern O2 binding mode, promote electron transfer, and facilitate product elimination. Our results show that ligand interlocking as a catenane steers the ORR selectivity to H2O as the major product via the 4e- pathway, rivaling the selectivity of Pt, and boosts the onset potential by 130 mV, the mass activity by 1.8 times, and the turnover frequency by 1.5 fold as compared to the noninterlocked counterpart. Our Cu catenane complex represents one of the first examples to take advantage of mechanical interlocking to afford electrocatalysts with enhanced activity and selectivity. The mechanistic insights gained through this integrated experimental and theoretical study are envisioned to be valuable not just to the area of ORR energy catalysis but also with broad implications on interlocked metal complexes that are of critical importance to the general fields in redox reactions involving proton-coupled electron transfer steps.

Abstract
Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; i.e., spheres) into higher dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent properties non-existent or only weakly existent in the individual building blocks. Constructing 1D chains, 2D arrays and 3D superlattices using nanoparticles and colloids therefore continues to be one of the grand goals in colloid and nanomaterial science. Amongst these higher order structures, 1D colloidal chains are of particular interest, as they possess unique anisotropic properties. In recent years, the most relevant advances in 1D colloidal chain research have been made in novel synthetic methodologies and applications. In this review, we first address a comprehensive description of the research progress concerning various synthetic strategies developed to construct 1D colloidal chains. Following this, we highlight the amplified and emergent properties of the resulting materials, originating from the assembly of the individual building blocks and their collective behavior, and discuss relevant applications in advanced materials. In the discussion of synthetic strategies, properties, and applications, particular attention will be paid to overarching concepts, fresh trends, and potential areas of future research. We believe that this comprehensive review will be a driver to guide the interdisciplinary field of 1D colloidal chains, where nanomaterial synthesis, self-assembly, physical property studies, and material applications meet, to a higher level, and open up new research opportunities at the interface of classical disciplines.

Abstract
The peptide self-assembly would be expected to be as the assistance of metallic nanocatalysts to promote the catalytic reaction, attracting limited attention, but being highly anticipated. Herein, we proposed and verified an alternative strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity of the 4-nitrophenol reduction as a model reaction, by optimizing and constructing "cofactors" inspired amyloid peptide self-assembly applied in the peptide-metal nanocatalysts as the template due to the potential superiority of substrate binding. Amyloid peptide self-assembled membrane exhibited better enhanced catalytic activity, compared to peptide nanofibers as the template in the peptide-gold nanocatalysts. The optimized amyloid peptide was designated by molecular dynamic simulation to display the relative strongest interaction with specific substrate and the relative good template effect on the enhanced catalytic activity was also proved accordingly. This work may shed light on the future design and construction of novel enzyme mimics with dramatic enhanced catalytic activity by peptide assembly-metal nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Peptides are strings of approximately 2-50 amino acids, which have gained huge attention for theranostic applications in cancer research due to their various advantages including better biosafety, customizability, convenient process of synthesis, targeting ability via recognizing biological receptors on cancer cells, and better ability to penetrate cell membranes. The conjugation of peptides to the various nano delivery systems (NDS) has been found to provide an added benefit toward targeted delivery for cancer therapy. Moreover, the simultaneous delivery of peptide-conjugated NDS and nano probes has shown potential for the diagnosis of the malignant progression of cancer. In this review, various barriers hindering the targeting capacity of NDS are addressed, and various approaches for conjugating peptides and NDS have been discussed. Moreover, major peptide-based functionalized NDS targeting cancer-specific receptors have been considered, including the conjugation of peptides with extracellular vesicles, which are biological nanovesicles with promising ability for therapy and the diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
In order to improve their bioapplications, inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are usually functionalized with specific biomolecules. Peptides with short amino acid sequences have attracted great attention in the NP functionalization since they are easy to be synthesized on a large scale by the automatic synthesizer and can integrate various functionalities including specific biorecognition and therapeutic function into one sequence. Conjugation of peptides with NPs can generate novel theranostic/drug delivery nanosystems with active tumor targeting ability and efficient nanosensing platforms for sensitive detection of various analytes, such as heavy metallic ions and biomarkers. Massive studies demonstrate that applications of the peptide-NP bioconjugates can help to achieve the precise diagnosis and therapy of diseases. In particular, the peptide-NP bioconjugates show tremendous potential for development of effective anti-tumor nanomedicines. This review provides an overview of the effects of properties of peptide functionalized NPs on precise diagnostics and therapy of cancers through summarizing the recent publications on the applications of peptide-NP bioconjugates for biomarkers (antigens and enzymes) and carcinogens (e.g., heavy metallic ions) detection, drug delivery, and imaging-guided therapy. The current challenges and future prospects of the subject are also discussed.

Abstract
Peptides and their conjugates (to lipids, bulky N-terminals, or other groups) can self-assemble into nanostructures such as fibrils, nanotubes, coiled coil bundles, and micelles, and these can be used as platforms to present functional residues in order to catalyze a diversity of reactions. Peptide structures can be used to template catalytic sites inspired by those present in natural enzymes as well as simpler constructs using individual catalytic amino acids, especially proline and histidine. The literature on the use of peptide (and peptide conjugate) α-helical and β-sheet structures as well as turn or disordered peptides in the biocatalysis of a range of organic reactions including hydrolysis and a variety of coupling reactions (e.g., aldol reactions) is reviewed. The simpler design rules for peptide structures compared to those of folded proteins permit ready ab initio design (minimalist approach) of effective catalytic structures that mimic the binding pockets of natural enzymes or which simply present catalytic motifs at high density on nanostructure scaffolds. Research on these topics is summarized, along with a discussion of metal nanoparticle catalysts templated by peptide nanostructures, especially fibrils. Research showing the high activities of different classes of peptides in catalyzing many reactions is highlighted. Advances in peptide design and synthesis methods mean they hold great potential for future developments of effective bioinspired and biocompatible catalysts.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine has made a gradual transition from proof-of-concept to clinical applications, with several NP types meeting regulatory approval or undergoing clinical trials. A new type of metallic nanostructures called ultrasmall nanoparticles (usNPs) and nanoclusters (NCs), while retaining essential properties of the larger (classical) NPs, have features common to bioactive proteins. This combination expands the potential use of usNPs and NCs to areas of diagnosis and therapy traditionally reserved for small-molecule medicine. Their distinctive physicochemical properties can lead to unique in vivo behaviors, including improved renal clearance and tumor distribution. Both the beneficial and potentially deleterious outcomes (cytotoxicity, inflammation) can, in principle, be controlled through a judicious choice of the nanocore shape and size, as well as the chemical ligands attached to the surface. At present, the ability to control the behavior of usNPs is limited, partly because advances are still needed in nanoengineering and chemical synthesis to manufacture and characterize ultrasmall nanostructures and partly because our understanding of their interactions in biological environments is incomplete. This review addresses the second limitation. We review experimental and computational methods currently available to understand molecular mechanisms, with particular attention to usNP-protein complexation, and highlight areas where further progress is needed. We discuss approaches that we find most promising to provide relevant molecular-level insight for designing usNPs with specific behaviors and pave the way to translational applications.

Abstract
In this work, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CoPd nanoalloys have been prepared. The nanocatalysts exhibited excellent activities in the hydrogenation of nitroarenes and alkenes in green solvent (ethanol/water) under mild conditions (H2 balloon, room temperature). Using ZIF-67 as template for both carbon matrix and cobalt precursor coating with a mesoporous SiO2 layer, the catalyst CoPd/NC@SiO2 was smoothly constructed. Catalytic results revealed a synergistic effect between Co and Pd components in the hydrogenation process due to the enhanced electron density. The mesoporous SiO2 shell effectively prevented the sintering of hollow carbon and metal NPs at high temperature, furnishing the well-dispersed nanoalloy catalysts and better catalytic performance. Moreover, the catalyst was durable and showed negligible activity decay in recycling and scale-up experiments, providing a mild and highly efficient way to access amines and arenes.

Abstract
Developing metallic nanocatalysts with high reaction activity, selectivity and practical durability is a promising and active subfield in electrocatalysis. In the classical "bottom-up" approach to synthesize stable nanomaterials by chemical reduction, stabilizing additives such as polymers or organic surfactants must be present to cap the nanoparticle to prevent material bulk aggregation. In recent years, biological systems have emerged as green alternatives to support the uncoated inorganic components. One key advantage of biological templates is their inherent ability to produce nanostructures with controllable composition, facet, size and morphology under ecologically friendly synthetic conditions, which are difficult to achieve with traditional inorganic synthesis. In addition, through genetic engineering or bioconjugation, bio-templates can provide numerous possibilities for surface functionalization to incorporate specific binding sites for the target metals. Therefore, in bio-templated systems, the electrocatalytic performance of the formed nanocatalyst can be tuned by precisely controlling the material surface chemistry. With controlled improvements in size, morphology, facet exposure, surface area and electron conductivity, bio-inspired nanomaterials often exhibit enhanced catalytic activity towards electrode reactions. In this Review, recent research developments are presented in bio-approaches for metallic nanomaterial synthesis and their applications in electrocatalysis for sustainable energy storage and conversion systems.

Abstract
Heating treatment is widely used in the preparation of metallic materials with controlled phase behavior and mechanical properties. However, for the soft materials assembled by short peptides, especially simple dipeptides, the detailed influences of heating treatment on the structures and functions of the materials remain largely unexplored. Here we showed that by thermal annealing or quenching of aromatic peptide solutions under kinetic control, we are able to control the self-assembly of peptide into materials with distinct phase behavior and macroscopic properties. The thermal annealing of the heated peptide solutions will lead to the formation of large nanobelts or bundles in solution, and no gels will be formed. However, by quenching the heated peptide solution, a self-supporting hydrogel will be formed quickly. Structure analysis revealed that the peptides preferred to self-assembled into much thinner and flexible nanohelices during quenching treatment. Moreover, the stability of the gels further increased with the repeated heating and quenching cycling of the peptide solutions. The results demonstrated that the heat treatment can be used to control the structure and function of self-assembled materials in a way similar to that of the conventional metallic or alloy materials.

Abstract
In this work, a palladium binding peptide, Pd4, has been used for the synthesis of catalytically active palladium-decorated gold (Pd-on-Au) nanoparticles (NPs) and palladium–gold (PdxAu100−x) alloy NPs exhibiting high nitrite degradation efficiency. Pd-on-Au NPs with 20% to 300% surface coverage (sc%) of Au showed catalytic activity commensurate with sc%. Additionally, the catalytic activity of PdxAu100−x alloy NPs varied based on palladium composition (x = 6–59). The maximum nitrite removal efficiency of Pd-on-Au and PdxAu100−x alloy NPs was obtained at sc 100% and x = 59, respectively. The synthesized peptide-directed Pd-on-Au catalysts showed an increase in nitrite reduction three and a half times better than monometallic Pd and two and a half times better than PdxAu100−x NPs under comparable conditions. Furthermore, peptide-directed NPs showed high activity after five reuse cycles. Pd-on-Au NPs with more available activated palladium atoms showed high selectivity (98%) toward nitrogen gas production over ammonia. In this work, a palladium binding peptide, Pd4, has been used for the synthesis of catalytically active palladium-decorated gold (Pd-on-Au) nanoparticles (NPs) and palladium–gold (PdxAu100−x) alloy NPs exhibiting high nitrite degradation efficiency.![]()

Abstract
Peptides have become excellent platforms for the design of peptide-nanoparticle hybrid superstructures, owing to their self-assembly and binding/recognition capabilities. Morover, peptide sequences can be encoded and modified to finely tune the structure of the hybrid systems and pursue functionalities that hold promise in an array of high-end applications. This feature article summarizes the different methodologies that have been developed to obtain self-assembled peptide-inorganic nanoparticle hybrid architectures, and discusses how the proper encoding of the peptide sequences can be used for tailoring the architecture and/or functionality of the final systems. We also describe the applications of these hybrid superstructures in different fields, with a brief look at future possibilities towards the development of new functional hybrid materials.

Abstract
The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet blessed with robust intermolecular association, the peptides, are privileged to make the cut-off for sensing the cell-signal for biologics delivery and tissue engineering. The signature service and insoluble network formation of the peptide self-assemblies as hydrogels have drawn a spell of research activity among the scientists all around the globe in the past decades. The therapeutic peptide market players are anticipating promising growth opportunities due to the ample technological advancements in this field. The presence of the other organic moieties, enzyme substrates and well-established protecting groups like Fmoc and Boc etc., bring the best of both worlds. Since the large sequences of peptides severely limit the purification and their isolation, this article reviews the account of last 5 years' efforts on novel approaches for formulation and development of single molecule amino acids, ultra-short peptide self-assemblies (di- and tri- peptides only) and their derivatives as drug/gene carriers and tissue-engineering systems.

Abstract
Proton-exchange-membrane (PEM)-based devices are promising technologies for hydrogen production and electricity generation. Currently, the amount of expensive platinum catalyst used in these devices must be reduced to be cost-competitive with other technologies. These devices typically contain Nafion ionomer thin films in the catalyst layers, which are responsible for transporting protons and gaseous species to and from electrochemically active sites. The morphology of the Nafion ionomer thin films in the catalyst layers with reduced platinum loading is impacted by interactions with the catalyst and the confinement to nanometer thicknesses, which leads to performance losses in PEM-based devices. In this study, an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) is designed to modulate the morphology of Nafion ionomer on platinum surfaces. The ELP shows an ability to assemble into a monolayer on platinum and change the ionomer interaction with platinum, thereby modifying its thin-film structure and improving the Nafion ionomer coverage. As a proof of concept, an ELP-modified catalyst ink was prepared and morphological differences were observed. Overall, we discovered an engineered ELP that can modulate the ionomer-catalyst interface in the electrodes of PEM-based devices.

Abstract
The inactivation of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli (Gram negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) seeded in greywater by bimetallic bio-nanoparticles was optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM). The bimetallic nanoparticles (Cu/Zn NPs) were synthesized in secondary metabolite of a novel fungal strain identified as Aspergillus iizukae EAN605 grown in pumpkin medium. Cu/Zn NPs were very effective for inhibiting growth of E. coli and S. aureus. The maximum inactivation was optimized with 0.028 mg mL-1 of Cu/Zn NPs, at pH 6 and after 60 min, at which the reduction of E. coli and S. aureus was 5.6 vs. 5.3 and 5.2 vs. 5.4 log reduction for actual and predicted values, respectively. The inactivation mechanism was described based on the analysis of untreated and treated bacterial cells by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) revealed a damage in the cell wall structure due to the effect of Cu/Zn NPs. Moreover, the Raman Spectroscopy showed that the Cu/Zn NPs led to degradation of carbohydrates and amino structures on the bacteria cell wall. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed that the destruction take place in the C-C bond of the functional groups available in the bacterial cell wall. The techno economic analysis revealed that the biosynthesis Cu/Zn NPs is economically feasible. These findings demonstrated that Cu/Zn NPs can effectively inhibit pathogenic bacteria in the greywater.

Abstract
Copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) have been studied as potential antimicrobial agents, similar to silver or platinum nanoparticles. However, the use of excess NPs is limited by their safety and toxicity in beneficial microflora and human cells. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of CuO-NPs by coating with a novel cyclic peptide, CuO binding peptide 1 (CuBP1), cyclic-SCATPFSPQVCS, which binds to the surface of CuO-NPs. CuBP1 was identified using biopanning of a T7 phage display system and was found to promote the aggregation of CuO-NPs under mild conditions. The treated CuO-NPs with CuBP1 caused the reduction of the cytotoxicity against Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus helveticus, and five other microorganisms, including bacteria and eukaryotes. Similar effects were also demonstrated against human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells in vitro. Our findings suggested that the CuO-NPs coated with a surface-binding peptide may have applications as a safe antimicrobial agent without excessive cytotoxic activity against beneficial microflora and human cells. Moreover, a similar tendency may be achieved with other metal particles, such as silver or platinum NPs, by using optimal metal binding peptides.

Abstract
The development of new catalysts for oxidation reactions is of central importance for many industrial processes. Plasmonic catalysis involves photoexcitation of templates/chips to drive and enhance oxidation of target molecules. Raman-based sensing of target molecules can also be enhanced by these templates. This provides motivation for the rational design, characterization, and experimental demonstration of effective template nanostructures. In this paper, we report on a template comprising silver nanoparticles on aligned peptide nanotubes, contacted with a microfabricated chip in a dry environment. Efficient plasmonic catalysis for oxidation of molecules such as p-aminothiophenol results from facile trans-template charge transfer, activated and controlled by application of an electric field. Raman detection of biomolecules such as glucose and nucleobases are also dramatically enhanced by the template. A reduced quantum mechanical model is formulated, comprising a minimum description of key components. Calculated nanotube-metal-molecule charge transfer is used to understand the catalytic mechanism and shows this system is well-optimized. Plasmonic nanomaterials offer new frontiers as photocatalysis and sensor materials, yet elucidating factors controlling each is a challenge. Here, authors examine the role of electric fields in photocatalysis and biomolecule sensing abilities of peptide-nanotubesupported silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
The self-assembly of biomolecules can provide a new approach for the design of functional systems with a diverse range of hierarchical nanoarchitectures and atomically defined structures. In this regard, peptides, particularly short peptides, are attractive building blocks because of their ease of establishing structure-property relationships, their productive synthesis, and the possibility of their hybridization with other motifs. Several assembling peptides, such as ionic-complementary peptides, cyclic peptides, peptide amphiphiles, the Fmoc-peptide, and aromatic dipeptides, are widely studied. Recently, studies on material synthesis and the application of tyrosine-rich short peptide-based systems have demonstrated that tyrosine units serve as not only excellent assembly motifs but also multifunctional templates. Tyrosine has a phenolic functional group that contributes to π-π interactions for conformation control and efficient charge transport by proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions in natural systems. Here, the critical roles of the tyrosine motif with respect to its electrochemical, chemical, and structural properties are discussed and recent discoveries and advances made in tyrosine-rich short peptide systems from self-assembled structures to peptide/inorganic hybrid materials are highlighted. A brief account of the opportunities in design optimization and the applications of tyrosine peptide-based biomimetic materials is included.

Abstract
Controllable fabrication of novel and uniform noble metal nanoparticles on a specific support with a superior catalytic or electrocatalytic performance is of significantly importance for practical applications. In this report, we demonstrated an effective way to fabricate uniform thin-walled Pd/polypyrrole (PPy) hollow nanotubes. The prepared Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes exhibited an excellent peroxidase-like activity to oxidize a typical peroxidase substrate such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in comparison with traditional Pd/C and Pd black catalysts. The outstanding catalytic activity of the Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes for peroxidase mimicking could be resulting from their unique hollow characteristic and an interfacial effect between PPy and Pd components. Based on the favorable catalytic property of the Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes, a convenient and rapid colorimetric way to sensitively determine ascorbic acid has been presented. The detection limit was around 0.062 μM and an excellent selectivity was also achieved. The developed detection system in this study could be extended to the fields of bioscience and biotechnology with promising prospects.

Abstract
In this work, a green strategy is performed to fabricate Pd3Ag nanoparticles (NPs) using plant-extracted polysaccharide (Lilium brownie polysaccharide, LBP). As-obtained Pd3Ag nanocomposite (Pd3Ag-LBP/C) is surveyed including transmission election microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The result of glucose detection application shows that the Pd3Ag-LBP/C glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibits good stability and sensitivity. It can completely cover the normal blood glucose concentration (3-8 mM) with high sensitivity of 77.20 μA mM-1 cm-2. This work undoubtedly has positive effects on green synthesis development. It not only proves the practicability of building nanomaterials by polysaccharide, but also offers an environmentally friendly way for fabricating other nanomaterials.

Abstract
Pt-based materials are the most efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. However, fabrication of active and stable Pt catalysts still remains challenging. In this work, Pt-l-phenylalanine (Pt-LPHE) films, with highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles (NPs) featuring predominately (111) facets, have been prepared via a room-temperature electron reduction method. Loading Pt-LPHE onto carbon support produces a novel nanomaterial (Pt-AL/C), resulting in a simultaneous loading of highly dispersed Pt NPs and N doping. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the N dopants stabilize the Pt NPs and reduce the *O/*OH binding energies on the Pt NPs. As a result, the Pt-AL/C nanomaterial shows significantly enhanced ORR activity and stability over commercial Pt/C after 10 000 cycle stability tests. This work provides a novel eco-friendly and energy-neutral approach for preparing metal NPs with controllable structures and sizes.

Abstract
Self-assembly of molecules often results in new emerging properties. Even very short peptides can self-assemble into structures with a variety of physical and structural characteristics. Remarkably, many peptide assemblies show high catalytic activity in model reactions reaching efficiencies comparable to those found in natural enzymes by weight. In this review, we discuss different strategies used to rationally develop self-assembled peptide catalysts with natural and unnatural backbones as well as with metal-containing cofactors.

Abstract
Control of ionomer thin films on metal surfaces is important for a range of electrodes used in electrochemical applications. Engineered peptides have emerged as powerful tools in electrode assembly because binding sites and peptide structures can be modulated by changing the amino acid sequence. However, no studies have been conducted showing peptides can be engineered to interact with ionomers and metals simultaneously. In this study, we design a single-repeat elastin-like peptide to bind to gold using a cysteine residue, and bind to a perfluorinated sulfonic-acid ionomer called Nafion® using a lysine guest residue. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and atomic force microscopy are used to show that an elastin-like peptide monolayer attached to gold facilitates the formation of a thin, phase-separated ionomer layer. Dynamic light scattering confirms that the interaction between the peptide with the lysine residue and the ionomer also happens in solution, and circular dichroism shows that the peptides maintain their secondary structures in the presence of ionomer. These results demonstrate that elastin-like peptides are promising tools for ionomer control in electrode engineering.

Abstract
Nanoalloys (NAs), which are distinctly different from bulk alloys or single metals, take on intrinsic features including tunable components and ratios, variable constructions, reconfigurable electronic structures, and optimizable performances, which endow NAs with fascinating prospects in the catalysis field. Here, the focus is on NA materials for chemical catalysis (except photocatalysis or electrocatalysis). In terms of composition, NA systems are divided into three groups, noble metal, base metal, and noble/base metal mixed NAs. Their design and fabrication for the optimization of catalytic performance are systematically summarized. Additionally, the correlations between the composition/structure and catalytic properties are also mentioned. Lastly, the challenges faced in current research are discussed, and further pathways toward their development are suggested.

Abstract
Nanoparticle/metal-organic frameworks (MOF) based composites have recently attracted significant attention as a new class of catalysts. Such composites possess the unique features of MOFs (including clearly defined crystal structure, high surface area, single site catalyst, special confined nanopore, tunable, and uniform pore structure), but avoid some intrinsic weaknesses (like limited electrical conductivity and lack in the "conventional" catalytically active sites). This review summarizes the developed strategies for the fabrication of nanoparticle/MOF composites for catalyst uses, including the strategy using MOFs as host materials to hold and stabilize the guest nanoparticles, the strategy with subsequent MOF growth/assembly around pre-synthesized nanoparticles and the strategy mixing the precursors of NPs and MOFs together, followed by self-assembly process or post-treatment or post-modification. The applications of nanoparticle/MOF composites for CO oxidation, CO₂ conversion, hydrogen production, organic transformations, and degradation of pollutants have been discussed. Superior catalytic performances in these reactions have been demonstrated. Challenges and future developments are finally addressed.
