“…[41,[44][45][46] The soft template serves as a scaffold or framework during the synthesis process, once the material is shaped around the template, the template is usually removed, leaving behind the desired structure. [47][48][49][50] The morphology, shape, and pore phase of the resulting materials can be controlled by the molecular weight, chain length, and category of the soft template. [51] (Figure 4).…”

Mesoporous metal nanomaterials (MPMNs) are pivotal in nanotechnology, especially in electrochemical applications, due to their unique structure. Unlike traditional nanomaterials, MPMNs possess hierarchical and mesoporous characteristics, providing more active sites for improved mass and electron transfer. This distinctive composition offers dual benefits, enhancing activity, stability, and selectivity for specific reactions. The intricate architecture, featuring interconnected pores, amplifies surface area, ensuring efficient use of active sites and boosting reactivity in electrocatalytic processes. Additionally, the mesoporous nature promotes superior diffusion kinetics, facilitating better transport of reactants and products. This intricate interplay of structural elements contributes not only to the increased efficiency of electrochemical reactions but also to the extended durability of PMNs during prolonged usage. This concept foucs on the synthesis and design strategies of MPMNs, aligning with the dynamic requirements of diverse electrocatalytic applications. The synergy resulting from these advancements not only accentuates the intrinsic properties of MPMNs but also broadens their scope for practical implementation in emerging fields of electrochemistry.

“…10,17,18 The mesoporous structure of metal nanostructures facilitates mass/electron transport and increases the number of accessible edge active sites. 19–21 Because of these characteristics, metal nanocrystals have been used to boost the performance of electrocatalysis. Although great progress has been made in the preparation of metallenes, intermetallics, and mesoporous metal nanostructures, metal nanostructures that integrate these three structural features have not yet been reported.…”
