Abstract
Amorphous materials with a high number of unsaturated coordinated dangling bonds exhibits macroscopic homogeneity and isotropy, making it easily modifiable to improve the catalytic properties. At present, several feasible modification strategies for amorphous materials have been proposed and applied to multiple catalytic fields. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research advancements in the modification of amorphous materials for catalysis. First, the general strategies for modifying amorphous materials are summarized. Subsequently, the potential applications of modified amorphous materials in electrocatalysis and photocatalysis are highlighted. Additionally, the positive effects of various modification tools on the catalytic properties of amorphous materials are elucidated. Finally, a summary of the challenges and offer a critical perspective on the further development of modified amorphous materials are presented. The primary goal of this review is to offer a systematic understanding of how to enhance catalytic performance and to stimulate further research on amorphous catalysts in the future.
