Description
Summary:A ligand‐desorption process during calcination was followed for metal‐oxide‐supported 2‐phenylethanethiolate‐protected gold 25‐atom metal nanoclusters (NCs) using five experimental techniques by Yuichi Negishi and co‐workers in their Research Article on page 21340. Based on the obtained knowledge, a method to form a metal‐oxide layer on the surface of Au NCs while preventing their aggregation was established, and thereby a water‐splitting photocatalyst with high activity and stability was created.
