Atom‐Precise Heteroatom Core‐Tailoring of Nanoclusters for Enhanced Solar Hydrogen Generation (Adv. Mater. 18/2023)

Abstract

Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production In article number 2207765, Megalamane Siddaramappa Bootharaju, Jong Suk Yoo, Nanfeng Zheng, Taeghwan Hyeon, and co-workers show how gold doping selectively at the core of a 44-atom silver nanocluster can modulate the electronic structure and enhance the stability of the resulting gold–silver core–shell sub-nanostructure through synergistic effects. Increased interfacial charge transfer due to a favorably modified band alignment makes the core–shell nanocluster a promising cocatalyst for hydrogen generation from solar water splitting.
