This paper reviews the recent achievements in the immobilization of metal nanoparticles on ion-exchange resins and the related catalytic application. The focus is on the production processes for fine and commodity chemicals for which a low environmental impact has been demonstrated. The most significant papers that appeared in the literature from January 2010 to July 2014 have been covered. Their uses in unselective processes, bulk chemicals production, fuel cells components, as well as the use of metal-free ion-exchange resins in acid / base-catalysed reactions, were not included.
