Copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) have emerged as a valuable member of the family of ligand-
protected few-atomic metal nanoparticles and show fascinating properties of color-controlled …

As an ideal substitute for traditional organic fluorescent dyes or up-conversion
nanomaterials, copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have developed rapidly and have been …

In the context of sustainable development, the photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 represents
an appealing approach to mitigate climate change while also helping the economy. In this …

In this work, we explore the decomposition of CO2 on unsupported and TiO2-supported Cu5
clusters via computational modeling, using both finite cluster and periodic slab structures of …

Subnanoparticles (SNPs) with ultrasmall particle sizes (< 1 nm) have potential to provide
catalytic activity that is superior to that of nanoparticles. Size-controlled Cu n O x (n= 12, 28 …

Using a combination of first-principles modelling, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and diffuse
reflectance spectroscopy measurements, we explore the properties of Ag5-modified TiO2 …

Ultrasmall clusters of subnanometer size can possess unique and even unexpected
physical and chemical propensities which make them interesting in various fields of basic …

Localized electron polarons formed through the coupling of excess electrons and ionic
vibrations play a key role in the functionalities of materials. However, the mechanism of the …

Ternary of titania-based composites were prepared in two steps. First, pure and nitrogen-
doped titanium dioxide powders were obtained using Pechini´ s method. Then, these …

Sub‐nanometer metal clusters have special physical and chemical properties, significantly
different from those of nanoparticles. However, there is a major concern about their thermal …
