Abstract
We demonstrate that gold nanoparticles can become catalytically active for the electrochemical hydrogen oxidation reaction by a sonication treatment. Experimental data and theoretical calculations indicate that the activity arises from the supercooled molten state of gold nanoparticles which are enriched with coordinatively unsaturated gold atoms.
