Controlling of the size and/or shape of noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs) is crucial to make use of their unique properties and to optimize their performance for a given application. Within the past decades, the development of wet-chemistry methods enables fine tailoring of the size and morphology of NMNPs. We herein devote this review to introduce the wet-chemistry-based methods for the size and shape-controlled synthesis of rhodium (Rh) NPs. We start with a summarization of the wet-chemistry-based approaches developed for producing Rh NPs and then focus on recent fascinating advances in their size- and shape-control in the aspects of kinetic and thermodynamic regimes depending on the synthetic conditions. Then, we use several typical examples to showcase the applications of Rh NPs with tunable sizes and shapes. Finally, we make some perspectives for the further research trends and development of Rh NPs. We hope through this reviewing effort, one can easily understand the technical bases for effectively designing and producing Rh NPs with desired properties.
控制贵金属纳米颗粒（NMNPs）的尺寸和/或形状对于利用其独特性质并针对特定应用优化其性能至关重要。在过去几十年中，湿化学方法的发展使得能够对NMNPs的尺寸和形态进行精细调控。我们在此撰写这篇综述，以介绍基于湿化学方法的铑（Rh）纳米颗粒尺寸和形状可控合成。我们首先总结为制备Rh纳米颗粒而开发的基于湿化学的方法，然后根据合成条件，在动力学和热力学方面着重介绍其在尺寸和形状控制方面的最新迷人进展。接着，我们用几个典型例子展示了具有可调尺寸和形状的Rh纳米颗粒的应用。最后，我们对Rh纳米颗粒的进一步研究趋势和发展提出了一些展望。我们希望通过这项综述工作，人们能够轻松理解有效设计和制备具有所需性质的Rh纳米颗粒的技术基础。
