Abstract

This paper reviews the advances in the chemical synthesis and application of metal-metalloid amorphous alloy nanoparticles consisting of transition metal (M) and metalloid elements (B, P). After a brief introduction on the history of amorphous alloy catalysts, the paper focuses on the properties and characterization of amorphous alloy catalysts, and recent developments in the solution-phase synthesis of amorphous alloy nanoparticles. This paper further outlines the applications of amorphous alloys, with special emphasis on the problems and strategies for the application of amorphous alloy nanoparticles in catalytic reactions.
