Driven by the demand for rational nanoparticle (NP) design in electrocatalysis-based energy applications, various synthesis methods have been developed. Among these methods, liquid-phase thermal decomposition (LTD) is a unique and industry-friendly approach owing to its low cost and easy scalability, and most importantly, the size, shape, and stability of the nanoparticles (NPs) can be easily controlled with the simple adjustment of the reaction parameters. This review provides a comprehensive d
