Nanomaterials are regarded as a major step forward to achieving the miniaturisation and nanoscaling effects and properties that have been utilised by nature for millions of years. Such materials are receiving extensive attention across a broad range of research disciplines. Among them, the fusion between nanoparticles and nanoporous materials technology represents one of the most interesting of these rapidly expanding areas. The harnessing of nanoscale activity and selectivity, potentially provides extremely efficient catalytic materials for the production of commodity chemicals, and energy needed for a future sustainable society.In this contribution, we aim to discuss the preparation and design of nanomaterials, primarily focused on supported metal nanoparticles (SMNPs) on porous materials, in view of their applications for the production of energy and high value-added chemicals
