Atomically Precise Metal Nanoclusters: Structure, Dynamics and Catalysis
Abstract
The goal of this work is to control metal nanoclusters at the single-atom level for designing atom-efficient new materials with tailored properties to meet specific energy and catalysis needs. Understanding the mechanisms of catalyzed reactions necessitates characterization of the atomic structures of nanocluster catalysts. This work aims to gain fundamental insight into how the structure of active sites in nanocluster catalysts can be manipulated specifically for fuel oxidation or CO2 reduction processes.
