Photoelectrochemistry of Au Nanocluster-Sensitized TiO2: Intricacy Arising from the Light-Induced Transformation of Nanoclusters into Nanoparticles

Rizwan Khan et al.

Summary: Investigating photoelectrode interfaces is challenging due to complex charge carrier pathways, and photodegradation can significantly alter interfacial properties. The photodegradation of Au nanoclusters results in the formation of photoactive Au nanoparticles that can form Schottky barriers with TiO2, affecting interfacial band structures. The injection of electrons into TiO2 and subsequent electron trapping at deep surface trap states play a vital role in the photodegradation process, while the enhancement of photocurrent is attributed to multiple overlooked effects of Au NPs.

Molecular reactivity of thiolate-protected noble metal nanoclusters: synthesis, self-assembly, and applications

Qiaofeng Yao et al.

Summary: "Thiolate-protected noble metal nanoclusters exhibit molecule-like properties, behaving as molecular entities and displaying structurally sensitive molecular reactivity to ions, molecules, and other nanoclusters. Their molecular interactions and reactions are crucial for applications in various fields, yet there is a lack of systematic summary in the current literature. Advances in synthesis and characterization techniques allow for the production of noble metal nanoclusters with molecular purity and precise atomic resolution, revealing active sites for molecular interactions and reactions. Understanding and utilizing these interactions and reactions in synthesis, self-assembly, and applications can increase the acceptance of metal nanoclusters in various fields."
