Metal Nanoparticles Syntheses on Ionic Liquids Functionalized Mesoporous Silica SBA‐15

Supported metal nanoparticles hold great promise in heterogeneous catalysis as active and reusable catalysts for various organic transformations. Preparation methods of metal nanoparticles with excellent control over size, shape, and morphology on supports has significantly advanced to improve the performances of the resulting catalysts. Here, we aim to discuss the development of supported metal nanoparticles on mesoporous silica SBA‐15 in the presence of immobilized ionic liquids mostly based on examples from the previously reported results. This review highlights the preparation methods for size‐controlled syntheses and the immobilization of metal nanoparticles on solid supports, especially SBA‐15 by various techniques.
