Since nanosized metals with magnetic features, and porous and noble metals, are discussed in
other chapters of this handbook, here we present a complementary, comprehensive review on other
metal nanostructures. Accordingly, this chapter is devoted to review the strategies of synthesis as well as properties of the most common transitionand post-transition-metal nanoparticles. Particular attention is paid to scalable production methods and enabled or foreseen applications of such metals, including low-melting-point lead, bismuth, tin, and indium, some of the refractories including tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, and titanium, as well as a few more of the very commonly used metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc. The review is expected to help the readers to get a glance at the state-of-the-art in the field and to foster new studies to overcome challenges associated typically with controlled bulk production and exploitation of this family of nanomaterials.
