Abstract
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged as a new frontier in electrocatalysis, enabling the study of electrocatalytic reactions on well-defined stable surfaces and rational electrocatalyst design based on atomic-level tailoring. In this review, we focus on the recent applications of these NCs to energy conversion reactions, including those involved in water splitting (hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions), fuel cell operation (oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation reactions), and electrochemical CO2 reduction. Emblematic examples are used to highlight the roles of different NC parts, for example, core metal and surrounding ligands, and the significance of the electrode substrate. Finally, we discuss the perspectives of the future development and implementation of NC-based energy conversion systems.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society is an official research journal of the Korean Chemical Society. It was founded in 1980 and reaches out to the chemical community worldwide. It is strictly peer-reviewed and welcomes Accounts, Communications, Articles, and Notes written in English. The scope of the journal covers all major areas of chemistry: analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, industrial chemistry, inorganic chemistry, life-science chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, non-synthetic organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials chemistry.
