Atomically dispersed metal catalysts have triggered great interest in the field of catalysis
owing to their unique features. Isolated single or few metal atoms can be anchored on …

Solid-state batteries have fascinated the research community over the past decade, largely
due to their improved safety properties and potential for high-energy density. Searching for …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials, such as graphene, have attracted
particular attention owing to the exceptional carrier transport characteristics that arise from …

Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2–3 decades.
This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose …

Abstract Since penta-graphene (PG), a two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope exclusively
composed of five-membered rings, was proposed in 2015, a great deal of effort has been …

The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

Pure and doped gold/silver clusters protected by monolayers of organic ligands have
attracted much interest as novel functional materials owing to their nonbulk-like, size-specific …

Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

Isolated transition metal clusters have been established as useful models for extended metal
surfaces or deposited metal particles, to improve the understanding of their surface …

Metal clusters, an emerging category of materials with molecular metal dispersity, have been
proposed for versatile applications. In this work, we show an unexpected function of metal …
