Enhancing catalytic properties of ligand-protected gold-based 25-metal atom nanoclusters by silver doping

Herein, engineering metal composition of metal nanoclusters (NCs) by foreign metal doping was used as an approach to synthesize gold (Au)-based 25-metal NC catalysts, without compromising the presence of their ligands and unique structure of 25 metal atoms. The Au-based 25-metal atom NCs with silver...
