Abstract The marriage of catalyst nanoparticles and mesoporous supports brings exciting new opportunities in the field catalysis, which provides ability to create advanced nanoporous catalysts for a wide range catalytic processes. It has been found that not only features supports, such as, surface areas, mesostructures, pore sizes, are critical performances, but also unique properties nanoparticles, including dispersion, particle size, loading amount, play roles determining performance. Those aspects have discussed partly previous reviews, comprehensive overview on basic design principles synthetic methods is still lacking. In this review, recent progresses fabrication by incorporation into summarized. First, strategies controllable synthesis reviewed. At same time, corresponding chemical‐/physically resultant supported highlighted. After that, performances thermal photocatalysis, electrocatalysis discussed. Moreover, research challenges perspectives assessed.
