Mechanistic elucidation of the catalytic activity of silver nanoclusters: exploring the predominant role of electrostatic surface
Paritosh Mahato, Shashi Shekhar, Rahul Yadav, Saptarshi Mukherjee- General Materials Science
The present work conclusively delineates the role of the core and the electrostatic surface of metal nanoclusters involved in the catalytic reduction reaction. The electrostatic surface dramatically modulates the reactivity of metal nanoclusters.
