activity, leading to the development of more sophisticated catalysts with high
performance. Although the catalytic performance of heterogeneous metal NP catalysts has been greatly advanced in the last decade, research on heterogeneous
catalysts for fine chemistry is still in the development stage. The development of
more efficient metal NP catalysts that promote selective hydrogenation and aerobic
oxidation using lower amounts of active metals under milder reaction conditions
without any additives and solvents remains vital. We believe that advances in both
nanotechnology for the fine-tuning of metal NPs and a deep understanding of the
complicated structure of heterogeneous catalysts play key roles in the development
of next-generation metal NP catalysts for selective redox reactions in environmentally friendly fine chemistry.
