The applications of copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanoparticles, which are based on the earth-abundant and inexpensive copper metal, have generated a great deal of interest in recent years, especially in the field of catalysis. The possible modification of the chemical and physical properties of these nanoparticles using different synthetic strategies and conditions and/or via postsynthetic chemical treatments has been largely responsible for the rapid growth of interest in these nanomaterials and their applications in catalysis. In addition, the design and development of novel support and/or multimetallic systems (e.g., alloys, etc.) has also made significant contributions to the field. In this comprehensive review, we report different synthetic approaches to Cu and Cu-based nanoparticles (metallic copper, copper oxides, and hybrid copper nanostructures) and copper nanoparticles immobilized into or supported on various support materials (SiO2, magnetic support materials, etc.), along with their applications in catalysis. The synthesis part discusses numerous preparative protocols for Cu and Cu-based nanoparticles, whereas the application sections describe their utility as catalysts, including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and gas-phase catalysis. We believe this critical appraisal will provide necessary background information to further advance the applications of Cu-based nanostructured materials in catalysis.
近年来，基于储量丰富且价格低廉的铜金属的铜 (Cu) 和铜基纳米粒子的应用引起了极大的关注，特别是在催化领域。通过不同的合成策略和条件以及/或通过后合成化学处理，可以对这些纳米粒子的化学和物理性质进行可能的修饰，这在很大程度上导致了人们对这些纳米材料及其在催化中的应用的兴趣迅速增长。此外，新型载体和/或多金属体系（例如合金等）的设计和开发也为该领域做出了重大贡献。在这篇全面的综述中，我们报告了不同的合成方法来制备 Cu 和铜基纳米粒子（金属铜、氧化铜和混合铜纳米结构）以及负载在各种载体材料（SiO2、磁性载体材料等）上的铜纳米粒子，并介绍了它们在催化中的应用。合成部分讨论了许多制备 Cu 和铜基纳米粒子的方案，而应用部分则描述了它们作为催化剂的用途，包括电催化、光催化和气相催化。我们相信，这种批判性评价将为进一步推进铜基纳米结构材料在催化中的应用提供必要的背景信息。
