By using other templates, the size of metal nanoparticles can be also controlled. Chen et al. reported the sonochemical reduction of Au(III), Ag(I) and Pd(II) and synthesis of Au, Ag and Pd nanoparticles loaded within mesoporous silica [48,49]. Zhu et al. also reported the sonochemical reduction of Mn04 to Mn02 and synthesis of Mn02 nanoparticles inside the pore channels of ordered mesoporous cabon [50]. Taking into account these reports, the rigid pore of inorganic materials can be used as a template for the size controlled metal nanoparticle synthesis even in the presence of ultrasound.

One family of new materials with potential use in metal catalysis is that of metal nanostructures such as metal nanoparticles (see Metal Nanoparticles, Synthesis of and Metal Nanoparticles, Organization Applications of), nanoshells, nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, nanobelts, and nanoplates. " For instance, it has been recently shown that Ag nanowires and nanoparticles can be produced by...
