Clusters that contain only a small number of atoms can exhibit unique and often unexpected
properties. The clusters are of particular interest in catalysis because they can act as …

Reducing the size from the bulk material to nanoparticles produces a scaling behavior in
physical properties in the later ones, due to the large surface-to-volume fraction. By further …

Small fluorescent atomic copper clusters, stabilized by tetrabutylammonium nitrate, have
been synthesized by a simple electrochemical technique. These small clusters (Cu N, N<≈ …

Size-selected clusters containing a handful of atoms may possess noble catalytic properties
different from nano-sized or bulk catalysts. Size-and composition-selected clusters can also …

An electrochemical method for the determination of an antrallinic acid derivative based on
nanoparticles modified electrode was studied through cyclic and differential pulse …

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were successfully assembled in self-organized TiO2 nanotubes by
the polyol process. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray …

The catalytic reduction of methylene blue (MB) to leucomethylene blue (LMB) by hydrazine
in the presence of size-selected copper clusters (CuCLs, Cu N, N= number of atoms, 2≤ …

A new compound based on the Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate, Ag7 (bbi) 5
(OH)(P2W18O62)(bbi= 1, 1′-(1, 4-butanediyl) bis (imidazole))(1), has been hydrothermally …

While there are conventional chemical synthesis methods to generate metal nanoclusters
(NCs), many of them are adversely affected by the unavoidable contamination of the …

A serious issue related to biomedical devices (BDs) is that of bacterial infections. BDs
colonized by bacteria may cause infection or mortality. To prevent such infections, an …
