The present disclosure provides methods for preparing confined nanocatalysts within mesoporous materials (MPMs). The method utilizes solid-state growth of nanocrystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by controlled transformation to generate nanocatalysts in situ within mesoporous materials. The present disclosure also provides applications of nanocatalysts in a wide range of fields including, but not limited to, liquid organic hydrogen carriers, synthetic liquid fuel preparation, and nitrogen fixation. |
