Nanoparticles have been widely applied in different areas including, medicine, sensor and catalysis. In our study we have concentrated our work towards the application of the metal nanoparticles in the field of catalysis. Several reports has been found on wide range of application of various supported metal nanoparticles in catalysis including Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Cd, Ni etc. metals in the form of reduced metals and in compounds forms as heterogeneous catalysis. Nanoparticles have potential for improving the efficiency, selectivity and yield of catalytic processes. Higher selectivity of the nanoparticles towards reaction proceeds through less waste and fewer impurities which could lead to safer technique and reduced environmental impact. In this review we have focused on the developments in new types of green nanocatalysts as well as developments in green catalytic reactions.
