Unique copper nanocluster design increases selectivity in CO₂ reduction

Detailed structures of two different Cu14 NCs protected by two different thiols investigated in this study. These NCs exhibit various intercluster interactions that shape the stability and reaction selectivity of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction. Credit: Small (2024).
