As an environmentally friendly technology, photocatalysis has been widely used in many
fields. Currently, the drawbacks of pristine semiconductors as traditional photocatalysts …

Thiolate-protected gold clusters (Au n (SR) m) have received significant attention as new
functional nanomaterials because they exhibit size-specific physical and chemical …

Recently, loading ligand-protected gold (Au) clusters as visible light photosensitizers onto
various supports for photoredox catalysis has attracted considerable attention. However, the …

Synthesis of atom‐precise alloy nanoclusters with uniform composition is challenging when
the alloying atoms are similar in size (for example, Ag and Au). A galvanic exchange …

Photoluminescent gold nanodots (Au NDs) are prepared via etching and codeposition of
hybridized ligands, an antimicrobial peptide (surfactin; SFT), and 1‐dodecanethiol (DT), on …

Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), with a particle size of∼ 1 nm, have recently emerged
as a promising class of nanoparticles, due to their well-defined molecular formulae and …

Few-atom gold nanoclusters (NCs) exhibit molecule-like properties due to a discrete
electronic structure driven by the quantum confinement effect. Unlike plasmonic Au particles …

Glutathione-protected gold clusters exhibit size-dependent excited state and electron
transfer properties. Larger-size clusters (eg, Au25GSH18) with core-metal atoms display …

Glutathione-capped metal nanoclusters (Au x-GSH NCs) which exhibit molecular-like
properties are employed as a photosensitizer for hydrogen generation in a …

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) with a band gap of∼ 2.4 eV has emerged as one of the visible
photocatalysts that can absorb light below 520 nm. The electron/hole pairs that are …
