ClAg₁₄ (C≡C^t Bu)₁₂ Nanoclusters as Efficient and Selective Electrocatalysts Toward Industrially Relevant CO₂ Conversion.

ABSTRACT: Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged as a promising frontier in the field of electrochemical CO₂ reduction reactions (CO₂ RR) because of their distinctive catalytic properties. Although numerous metal NCs are developed for CO₂ RR, their use in practical applications has suffered from their low-yield synthesis and insufficient catalytic activity. In this study, the large-scale synthesis and electrocatalytic performance of ClAg₁₄ (C≡C^t Bu)₁₂ ⁺ NCs, which exhibit remarkable efficiency in catalyzing CO₂ -to-CO electroreduction with a CO selectivity of over 99% are reported. The underlying mechanisms behind this extraordinary CO₂ RR activity of ClAg₁₄ (C≡C^t
