Abstract

This paper offers a comprehensive insight into metastable nanomaterials, detailing their design principles, chemical compositions, and microstructure. It begins by summarizing the fundamental concepts and properties of metastable nanomaterials, emphasizing their distinctive importance and potential applications across various fields. The design principles of metastable nanomaterials are then analyzed in detail, including the selection of chemical compositions and the classification of microstructures. The effects of these factors on the properties of metastable nanomaterials are thoroughly discussed. The paper also delves into specific types of metastable materials, such as metastable metals, metal oxides, and metal sulfides, covering their heterostructures, metastable stacksand single atoms or clusters. Additionally, the application prospects of metastable nanomaterials in multiple fields are described, and the current challenges in research are critically analyzed. Finally, the future research directions are proposed to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the design, preparation, and application of metastable nanomaterials.
