Highly Selective Methanol Synthesis Using Electrochemical CO <sub>2</sub> Reduction with Defect‐Engineered Cu <sub>58</sub> Nanoclusters
Copper Nanoclusters In article number 2400465, Tokuhisa Kawawaki, De-en Jiang, Yuichi Negishi, and co-workers present an innovative design strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of copper nanoclusters by engineering their active sites. These active sites are formed here by creating surface ligand vacancies. This work underscores the potential of tailored structural designs of atomically precise nanocatalysts in directing electrochemical CO2 reduction toward unconventional products.
