Abstract

Elucidating the catalytic properties of metal nanoclusters (NCs) with essentially the same structure but different core metals is of fundamental interest. Our current studies have demonstrated that the thiolated Ag₂₅(SR)₁₈ NC exhibits SR ligand leaching dynamics and electrocatalytic activity in CO₂ reduction distinct from those of its Au₂₅(SR)₁₈ NC structural analogue.
