【 摘 要 】

This review article focuses on the impacts of recent advances in solution phase precious metal nanoparticles on heterogeneous catalysis. Conventional nanometal catalysts suffer from size polydispersity. The advent of nanotechnology has significantly advanced the techniques for preparing uniform nanoparticles, especially in solution phase synthesis of precious metal nanoparticles with excellent control over size, shape, composition and morphology, which have opened up new opportunities for catalysis. This review summarizes some recent catalytic research by using well-defined nanoparticles, including shape-controlled nanoparticles, high index-faceted polyhedral nanocrystals, nanostructures of different morphology (e.g., core-shell, hollow, etc.), bi- and multi-metallic nanoparticles, as well as atomically precise nanoclusters. Such well-defined nanocatalysts provide many exciting opportunities, such as identifying the types of active surface atoms (e.g., corner and edge atoms) in catalysis, the effect of surface facets on catalytic performance, and obtaining insight into the effects of size-induced electron energy quantization in ultra-small metal nanoparticles on catalysis. With well-defined metal nanocatalysts, many fundamentally important issues are expected to be understood much deeper in future research, such as the nature of the catalytic active sites, the metal-support interactions, the effect of surface atom arrangement, and the atomic origins of the structure-activity and the structure-selectivity relationships.
