Аннотация:This work discusses synthesis, structure and properties of catalysts comprising supported amorphous metal nanoparticles. Considered are physical principles and features of the laser electrodispersion (LED) technique, which was used for production of amorphous Pt, Pd, Ni,Cu, Au nanoparticles, as well as amorphous alloy particles such as NiPd, NiMo, NiW and deposition them on oxide, carbon and zeolites carriers. The results of studies of the catalysts structure are presented and catalysts behavior in the processes of hydrogenation, isomerization, addition, cross-coupling and others are discussed.The relation between extremely high specific activity and stability of LED catalysts and the amorphous state of metal nanoparticles is considered.
