Among various preparation techniques of metal/alloy particles on the nanometre scale, the templating synthesis using microporous materials as microreactors is one of the promising methods [7, 10, 11]. Uniform void spaces of porous hosts work to synthesize nanostructured metal/aUoy particles as a guest, which are...

Both the discovery of new synthesis processes for nanostructured materials and the demonstration of the highly reactive properties of these materials have increased rapidly within recent years. The new synthesis processes have made available nanostructured materials in a wide variety of compositions of metal oxides and metals supported on metal oxides, which have led to recognition of their exceptional chemical, physical, and electronic properties. The objective of this review is to provide recent results on synthesis of nanostructured materials using the novel processes that were developed in these laboratories recently and to contrast them to other important, new methods. Because some of the most important applications of nanostructured materials are as catalysts for chemical processing, several key reports on enhanced catalytic reactivity of nanostructured grains will be discussed along with the pertinent theory responsible for controlling both activity and selectivity of these new catalysts.
