Because of the special structures and properties of polysaccharides I the studies on application of polysaccharides in synthesis of metal nanomaterials have drawn great attention in recent years. In such processes, polysaccharides can act as reductive or protecting agents. Moreover, polysaccharides and their derivatives can be easily decomposed after formation of metal nanomaterials and never made any pollution. Herein, the new developments of utilizing polysaccharides and their derivatives as templates in synthesis of metal nanomaterials are reviewed.
