Abstract
Plasmon-induced hot-electron transfer from metal nanostructures is being intensely pursed in current photocatalytic research, however it remains elusive whether molecular-like metal clusters with excitonic behavior can be used as light-harvesting materials in solar energy utilization such as photocatalytic methanol steam reforming. In this work, we report an atomically precise Cu13 cluster protected by dual ligands of thiolate and phosphine that can be viewed as the assembly of one top Cu atom and three Cu4 tetrahedra. The Cu13H10(SR)3(PR’3)7 (SR = 2,4-dichlorobenzenethiol, PR’3 = P(4-FC6H4)3) cluster can give rise to highly efficient light-driven activity for methanol steam reforming toward H2 production.
期刊介绍：
Green Energy & Environment (GEE) is an internationally recognized journal that undergoes a rigorous peer-review process. It focuses on interdisciplinary research related to green energy and the environment, covering a wide range of topics including biofuel and bioenergy, energy storage and networks, catalysis for sustainable processes, and materials for energy and the environment. GEE has a broad scope and encourages the submission of original and innovative research in both fundamental and engineering fields. Additionally, GEE serves as a platform for discussions, summaries, reviews, and previews of the impact of green energy on the eco-environment.
