Abstract

In article number 2004541, Anupam Yadav, Didier Grandjean, Peter Lievens, and co-workers uncover the origin of the catalytic activity of 3 nm gold clusters by thorough experimental and computational characterization of their properties. Faceted geometries demonstrate significantly enhanced methanol electro-oxidation activity because of exposed undercoordinated gold atoms on their surface. Vertices and edges are the most active sites because of their favorable CO and OH adsorption energies.
