Hydride-doped Ag₁₇Cu₁₀ nanoclusters as high-performance electrocatalysts for CO₂ reduction.

ABSTRACT: The atomically precise metal electrocatalysts for driving CO₂ reduction reactions are eagerly pursued as they are model systems to identify the active sites, understand the reaction mechanism, and further guide the exploration of efficient and practical metal nanocatalysts. Reported herein is a nanocluster-based electrocatalyst for CO₂ reduction, which features a clear geometric and electronic structure, and more importantly excellent performance. The nanocatalysts with the molecular formula of [Ag₁₇Cu₁₀(dppm)₄(PhC≡C)₂₀H₄]³⁺ have been obtained in a facile way. The unique metal framework of the cluster, with silver, copper, and hydride included, and dedicated surface structure, with strong (dppm) and lab
