Atomically precise Au <sub>42</sub> and Cu-doped Au <sub>42</sub> nanorods for CO <sub>2</sub> reduction: the critical role of ligand removal
Ligand removal profoundly alters Au 42 nanorod activity and selectivity. Cu doping enhances CO 2 reduction in pristine Au 42 but suppresses activity in the –SR removed cluster by shifting the potential-determining step.
